[Chorus]
I'm just heading down the highway
About a million miles an hour
And I'm burning lots of rubber on my run
In the yellow rose of Texas, from the gulf to Mexico
Well, I'm heading down the highway toward the sun

[Verse 1]
The diesel is my savior, the highway is my bride
The rhythm of them wheels is all I feel
And if I'm feeling down, there's a west coast turnaround
And my best friend Benny's there to make it real

[Chorus]
We're just heading down the highway
About a million miles an hour
And burning lots of rubber on our run
In the yellow rose of Texas, from the gulf to Mеxico
We're just heading down thе highway towards the sun

[Bridge]
And it's a long haul, in someone's master plan
Keep on driving, keep on driving
I keep on trying to prove that I'm a man
I'm just a company man, oh well
[Verse 2]
Now, some folks say we're worthless
And some folks say we're mean
Now, most folks think we're damned and never blessed
All the rumors I hear say, up in old sky way cafe
That them boys upstairs ride a Texas Rose Express
And they're singing:

[Chorus]
We're heading down the highway
About a million miles an hour
And burning lots of rubber on our run
In the yellow rose of Texas, from the gulf to Mexico
We're just heading down the highway towards the sun

[Bridge]
And it's a long haul, in someone's master plan
Keep on driving, keep on driving
I keep on trying to prove that I'm a man
I'm just a company man, oh well

[Verse 2]
Now, some folks say we're worthless
And some folks say we're mean
Now, most folks think we're damned and never blessed
All the rumors I hear say, up in old sky way cafe
That them boys upstairs ride a Texas Rose Express
And I'm singing:
[Chorus/outro]
Just heading down the highway
About a million miles an hour
And burning lots of rubber on my run
In the yellow rose of Texas, from the gulf to Mexico
I'm just heading down the highway towards the sun
I'm just heading down the highway towards the sun
