Brothers of The Highway Lyrics
Diamonds on the windshield, as heaven starts to cry,
In his rearview mirror, his angel waves goodbye.
She knows he's got to go, she knows he's one of them,
chorus:
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind,
That Detroit diesel pirate ship goes blowin out again,
Sailin for the settin sun, freedoms your best friend,
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.
-end chorus
He putts the pedal to the metal, tryin' to out run the rain,
Another shot of truck stop coffee, goes runnin through his veins,
This country turns on eighteen wheels, thank god we can depend, on
(Chorus)
Carolina west to Denver,
Batton Rouge east to Pittsburg,
Portland south to San Diego,
sail on sail on,
Talahasy north to Boston,
up to Bangor west to Austin,
coast to coast sea to sea
sail on sail on, you
(Chorus)
God bless you brothers of the highway, children of the wind.
In his rearview mirror, his angel waves goodbye.
She knows he's got to go, she knows he's one of them,
That Detroit diesel pirate ship goes blowin out again,
Sailin for the settin sun, freedoms your best friend,
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.
Another shot of truck stop coffee, goes runnin through his veins,
This country turns on eighteen wheels, thank god we can depend, on
Batton Rouge east to Pittsburg,
Portland south to San Diego,
sail on sail on,
Talahasy north to Boston,
up to Bangor west to Austin,
coast to coast sea to sea
sail on sail on, you

This song is a great road trip song. Blast it with the widnows rolled down and a dip in your mouth...
anyways, this song is all about how important truckers are in our country. It describes the freedom of driving hundreds and hundreds of miles for a trucking company. It describes how lonely these "pirates" get on the road, and how much his family will miss him. Just a great song, and my favorite from George.
