i got eighteen wheels and a polished rig
im in a big ol' hurry and i do mean big
got to get this load to the kamen town
before the sun comes up and they shut me down
oo oo overdrive

i got stopped by the man at the seagle scale
got sidetracked by the waitress at the steak and ale
got walayed, all day, traffic jam
just south of the border down in alabam
oo oo overdrive

overdrive
i got to roll on just to survive
the only time i feel alive
is when i kick it into
oo oo overdrive

my momma said when i was born
i was born on the run
my daddy was a truck drivin son of a gun
got a highway song running through my brain
got desiel oil running through my veins
oo oo overdrive

overdrive
i got to roll on just to survive
the only time i feel alive
is when i kick it into
oo oo overdrive

15 break

overdrive
i got to roll on just to survive
the only time i feel alive
is when i kick it into
oo oo overdrive

i had a dream last night that i was standin still
woke up broke out sweatin a chill
when the white line stops,they better lay down
in a cab over coffin in the cold hard ground
oo oo overdrive

overdrive
i got to roll on just to survive
the only time i feel alive
is when i kick it into
oo oo overdrive

overdrive
i got to roll on just to survive
the only time i feel alive
is when i kick it into
oo oo overdrive

i kick it into oo oo oo oo overdrive
