Diamonds on the windshield as heaven starts to cry
In his rearview mirror, his angel waves goodbye
She knows he's got to go, she knows he's one of them

Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
That Detroit diesel pirate ship goes rolling out again
Sailing for that setting sun, freedom's your best friend
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind

He puts the pedel to the metal, trying to outta run the rain
Another shot of truck stop coffee, goes running through his vains
This country turns on eighteen wheels, thank God we can depend on

Brothers of the highway, children of the win
That Detroit diesel pirate ship goes rolling out again
Sailing for that setting sun, freedom's your best friend
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind

Carolina west to Denver
Baton Rouge east to Pittsburg
Portland south to San Diego
Sail on, sail on
Tallahassy north to Boston
Up to Bangor west to Austin
Coast to coast, sea to sea
Sail on, sail on

You brothers of the highway, children of the wind
That Detroit diesel pirate ship goes rolling out again
Sailing for that setting sun, freedom's your best friend
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
God bless you, brothers of the highway, children of the wind
