I'm driving down that lonesome road, riding fast - bringing home my load. The sun sets down and I'm alone, another job to catch I go. Through the desert - through the snow Me and my princess of the night. See me driving down that highway through the night - I am the king of the road! See me passing by day after day - I am the king of the road! The night crawls in - it's getting dark, a lonely man with a lonely heart. The loneliness eats up his soul. I'm getting tired, need a rest, but must go on - straight to the west. 'Cause everybody counts on me.
