I'm a red-eyed road runner riding on a velvet throne
Chasing the white lines just to see how far they will go
Steamtown, motor city, lost wages; tar in my lungs
Skipping the stations smokeys got me under the gun
Well I call my old lady but my neighbour Jerry answers the phone (Hello?)
I got Hannah in Hotlanta and she tells me that she's ready to go
Oooh I chose this life
Oooh no end in sight
Beg & run & holler twenty ton trailer in tow
Ridin' through the night hellbent on chasing the glow
I'm a ragged runnin' hauler I'll be in a new town tomorrow
Fixated on the gauges and I'm wondering who do I know
Oooh I chose this life
Oooh no end in sight
Oooh no end in sight
I'm a red-eyed road runner riding on a velvet throne
