Set out from Carlisle with the sun beside him Sinking low across an empty field Old moon a-rising, the first lone star a-shining Shadows rolling down the lonely hills
Run down by Lichfield and the rain it started pouring Water flowing up along the road Listen to the rumble of the ten big wheels a-turning Listen for the shifting of the load.
Knights of the road, riders of the highways Hauling the load, making it the hard way
Miles crack on by and he sang with his engines Old tunes like "Kisses sweeter than wine" Dreaming of the girl he'd be lying with at sunrise Another lonely milestone passed him by
Knights of the road, riders of the highways Hauling the load, making it the hard way
Lightning it crashed and he never saw it coming They found him with his hands still at the wheel Just another poor boy trying to keep 'em running He died lugging 30 tons of steel
Knights of the road, riders of the highways Making it the hard wayTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
