[1] In it's own way? this truck I drive?

Has become a friend of mine?

It's where I spend? most of my time..

We both stay ready?ready to ride?



CHORUS

Ready to ride?day or night?

Ready to ride?way up high?

You can't handle this highway life..

If you ain't ready?ready to ride?.



[2] You learn fast? in this trucking life?

It ain't about how fast you drive?

It's rolling steady?on down that line?

And to stay ready?ready to ride..



CHORUS

Ready to ride?day or night?

Ready to ride?way up high?

You can't handle this highway life..

If you ain't ready?ready to ride?.



[Long: Instrumental Turn-A-Round]



[3] This road weighs on your mind?

Start thinkin' ahead or behind?


Right now? hear the diesel whine?

Gotta stay ready?ready to ride?





CHORUS

Ready to ride?day or night?

Ready to ride?way up high?

You can't handle this highway life..

If you ain't ready?ready to ride?.





[4] It's been weeks?seen my kids and wife?

They just called? said they were doin' fine?

They know why I drive this old grind..

Gotta stay ready..ready to ride?



CHORUS

Ready to ride?day or night?

Ready to ride?way up high?

You can't handle this highway life..

If you ain't ready?ready to ride?.



TAG: No?.you can't handle this highway life..

If you ain't ready?ready?. to ride?.
