Lyrics
Fields of wheat and rows of cotton
double wide on the side of dirt road forgotten
Summer heat and winter floods
Well good luck if you ever get stuck in that Memphis mud
But we can go somewhere, baby we can get there fast
East to Carolina or ride the highway west
All it takes to be free is this old army jeep
And the will to leave it in the past
Burning them tanks of gas
Pilot Station it’s 3 am
It’s just us us and a Peterbilt truck at the pump again
Air is cool and the night is dead
And we’re as close to where we’re going as we’ll ever get
But we can go somewhere, maybe we can get there fast
East to Carolina or ride the highway west
All it takes to be free is this old army jeep
And the will to leave it in the past
Burning them tanks of gas
I heard they used to follow stars
But out here in the dark
All we got are tail lights
to take us through the night
But we can go somewhere, baby we can get there fast
East to Carolina or ride the highway west
All it takes to be free is this old army jeep
And the will to leave it in the past
Load up and get out fast
Burning them tanks of gas
We gotta let em burn
Come on let’s leave it on the road tonight
It’s just you and I and the time is right
Come on let’s leave it on the road tonight
It’s just you and I and the time is right
