With raindrops on my windshield and teardrops on my stirring wheels
This lonely truck's the only thing I own
In my heart I'm pining while her old engine's whining
With 18 wheels a humming home sweet home

I had a gal in Texas she walked away and left us
This old truck's all I'm depending on
Sometimes I overwork her but I never would desert her
With 18 wheels a humming home sweet home

We've got a lot in common we keep each other goin'
Me and this old truck a hangin' on
We just keep right on rollin' that lonesome stack a blowin'
With 18 wheels a humming home sweet home

[ steel ]

It ain't the latest model and it can't take much trottle
Them shiny rigs ain't been where this one's gone
And we ain't in a hurry we lope along in worry
With 18 wheels a humming home sweet home
With raindrops on my windshield
With 18 wheels a humming home sweet home
