Prisoner Of The Highway — Ronnie Milsap
Chords and lyrics for Prisoner Of The Highway by Ronnie Milsap (key of F).
Verse 1
[Am]Diesel powers [C]18 wheels to rolling
As [D7]I pull it on to the [Am]Interstate
I've got 13 hours to [C]make my destination
And [D7]I don't want to stop to check my [E7]weight
[F]There won't be no [G7]sleep for me [Am]tonight [G7]no
I've [F]got to be hitting Tulsa by [E7]first morning light
I'm a [Am]prisoner of the [G7]highway
[D7]Driven on by my restless [Am]soul
Call me a prisoner of the [G7]highway
[D7]Prison by the freedom of the [Am]road
I've run freight out of [C]Wheeling West Virginia
[D7]And US Steel from [Am]Memphis
I've rolled tobacco [C]out of the Carolina's
[D7]California wines into [E7]Birmingham
[F]Some people work just [G7]to [Am]survive yeah
[F]But up here in this cab that's [E7]when I'm most alive
I'm a [Am]prisoner of the [G7]highway
[D7]Driven on by my restless [Am]soul
Call me a prisoner of the [G7]highway
[D7]Prison by the freedom of the [Am]road
[D7]Got a wife living back in Tennessee
And she tries to understand the way I [Am]feel
[D7]I could give my hands to another line of work
But my [F]heart would always be behind the [E7]wheel
Call me a [Am]prisoner of the [G7]highway
[D7]Driven on by my restless [Am]soul
I'm a prisoner of the [G7]highway
[D7]Prison by the freedom of the [Am]road
Don't you know I'm a prisoner of the [G7]highway
[D7]Driven on by my restless [Am]soul
Call me a prisoner of the [G7]highway
[D7]Prison by the freedom of the [Am]road
