[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 .
