18 GEARS TO LIFE [RECORDED] Video (MV)

AH, FIRE THEM THINGS UP BOYS
BEEN OUT HERE ON THIS HIGHWAY
ROLLING ON NOW TWENTY YEARS
JUST LIKE MY DAD BEFORE ME
COFFEE, BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS
I'M ADDICTED TO THE WHITE LINE
A PRISONER OF THE ROAD
AIN'T NO CURE FOR THIS DISEASE
IT BRINGS US OUTLAWS AND ROGUES
WHEN THEY LOCKED ME UP, THEY HANDED ME THE KEYS

I'M PULLING 18 GEARS TO LIFE
WITH NO CHANCE OF PAROLE
MY HEART BELONGS TO JESUS
BUT THIS HIGHWAY OWNS MY SOUL
IT'S A CRIME I'M DOING TIME
JUST TO SEND IT ON DOWN THE LINE
I'M PULLING 18 GEARS, 18 GEARS
18 GEARS TO LIFE

SOME SAY I'M SEMI CRAZY
MY GOD, IT'S HARD TO TELL
THIS DIAMOND TUCK AND LEATHER
JUST MIGHT BE MY PADDED CELL
THOSE PICTURES ON MY DASHBOARD
WHERE I'VE WATCHED MY KIDS GROW UP
I THANK GOD THEY UNDERSTAND
THE COST OF DIESEL IN MY BLOOD
THEY KNOW THIS RAMBLING MAN AND WHAT SET'S ME FREE

I'M PULLING 18 GEARS TO LIFE
WITH NO CHANCE OF PAROLE
MY HEART BELONGS TO JESUS
BUT THIS HIGHWAY OWNS MY SOUL
IT'S A CRIME I'M DOING TIME
JUST TO SEND IT ON DOWN THE LINE
I'M PULLING 18 GEARS, 18 GEARS
18 GEARS TO LIFE

I'M PULLING 18 GEARS TO LIFE
WITH NO CHANCE OF PAROLE
MY HEART BELONGS TO JESUS
BUT THIS OLD HIGHWAY OWNS MY SOUL
IT'S A CRIME I'M DOING TIME
JUST TO SEND IT ON DOWN THE LINE
I'M PULLING 18 GEARS, 18 GEARS
18 GEARS TO LIFE

THERE'S NO ESCAPING THIS ADDICTION
SO UNTIL THE DAY I DIE
I'M PULLING 18 GEARS, 18 GEARS
18 GEARS TO LIFE
18 GEARS TO LIFE
18 GEARS TO LIFE
