In my big ol eighteen wheeler I feel like a king
All the street lights look diamonds to me
The distance of the road measures all I've left behind
And on this iron throne the highway is all mine
Im the king, king of the road
Im the king, king of the road
And how I'd like to be with my darlin
But I'm laid over in Tulsa once again
And lord my head lights they shine and I'm just tryin to find
My way home
You can live in your car but you can't drive your house
And this ol cabins what my life's all about
But I stop off at a Love's knock the dust off my eye
Get my grits and coffee and then I take a ride
Im the king, king of the road
Im the king, king of the road
And how I'd like to be with my darlin
But I'm laid over in Tulsa once again
And lord my head lights they shine and I'm just tryin to find
My way home
And Lord I wish I could go
Back to my old Kentucky home
But these eighteen wheels they hold me to my throne
And how I'd like to be with my darlin
But I'm laid over in Tulsa once again
And lord my head lights they shine and I'm just tryin to find
My way home
