[Verse 1: Mark Wills]
Diesel power, eighteen wheels to rollin'
As I pull it on to the interstate
I've got thirteen hours to make my destination
And I don't want to stop to check my weight
There won't be no sleep for me tonight, no
I gotta be hittin' Tulsa by first mornin' light

[Chorus: Mark Wills]
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
I'm a prisoner of the highway
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah

[Verse 2: Ronnie Milsap]
I've run freight out of Wheeling West Virginia
And U.S. Steel from Bethlehem
And I've rolled tobacco out of the Carolinas
California winds into Birmingham
Some people work just to survive
But up here in this cab is the only time I'm alive

[Chorus: Ronnie Milsap, with Mark Wills]
I'm a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Woo
[Bridge: Ronnie Milsap & Mark Wills]
I've got a wife livin' back in Tennessee
Ronnie, she tries to understand the way I feel (Lord, have mercy)
Now I could give my hand to another line of work
But my heart would always be behind the wheel

[Chorus: Ronnie Milsap, Mark Wills & Both]
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
I'm a prisoner of the highway
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah
Don't ya know I'm a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
Call me a prisoner of the highway
It's all yours
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road, yeah, yeah
We're prisoners of the highway, that's right
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road
Yeah, we are prisoners of the highway, one more time
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road
