Got in an old beat-up truck, stick shift, no air
From Colorado's mountains, feel the wind in my hair
Dusty roads and sunsets, miles to go
Through the heart of America, where the wild winds blow
Memories and dreams, rollin' down the highway
No AC, no cruise control, just livin' it my way
From the Rockies to Jersey, feel the heat rise
Sweat on my brow, but I'm lovin' the ride
Radio's cracklin', tunes fill the air
Windows down, slipstreams everywhere
Sweat-soaked shirt, grit on my face
But the freedom I feel, man, it's hard to replace
Kansas skies, wide open and blue
Hills and wind, and a fiery sunset hue
Every mile a story, every town a scene
Livin' the hard way, chasing the American dream
Memories and dreams, rollin' down the highway
No AC, no cruise control, just livin' it my way
From the Rockies to Jersey, feel the heat rise
Sweat on my brow, but I'm lovin' the ride
Sweat stained seat, hands on the wheel
Every bump in the road, every turn, I feel
Gas station convos, fast food meals
It's a hard, wild life, but it's oh-so-real
Memories and dreams, rollin' down the highway
No AC, no cruise control, just livin' it my way
From the Rockies to Jersey, feel the heat rise
Sweat on my brow, but I'm lovin' the ride
So here's to the journey, the sweat and the strife
Every hot, dusty mile, livin' this life
From Colorado's peaks to Jersey's shore
Stick shift dreams, always craving more
