Miles away,
far from home,
this old diesel keeps moving on.
Highway
signs and red tail lights is all I have with me
tonight.
This tired heart and lonely wheels,
no one knows the way I feel.
Desert wind,
wind carry me.
I would fly,
fly head wings, I'm stuck behind the wheel.
Down this long
hard road,
miles away,
far from home.
And it rained through most of Montana,
all the way down to Colorado.
I got a little sleep in Santa Fe. And inside there's stormy weather,
it's been so long
since we've been together.
I'm missing you more and more each day.
It won't be long,
I'm almost there.
I'll fill her up
and say a prayer.
Desert wind,
wind
carry me.
I would
fly,
fly head wings, I'm stuck behind the wheel.
I'm rolling down this long hard road,
miles away,
far from home.
Miles away,
far from home,
this old diesel keeps moving on.
