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 blowing out again Sailing towards that setting sun, freedom´s their best friend Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
He puts the pedal to the metal Trying to out run the rain Another shot of truck stop coffee Goes running through his veins
This world turns on eighteen wheels Thank god we can depend on
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind That Detroit diesel pirate ship goes blowing out again Sailing towards that setting sun, freedom´s their 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 Tallahassee 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 blowing out again Sailing towards that setting sun, freedom´s their best friend Brothers of the highway, children of the wind
God bless you brothers of the highway, children of the wind
