Lyrics
Running big truck fast as I can go
Ain't gonna stop till El Paso
Belching fire spinning all eighteen
Push'n the hell out of this machine
White line fever creeping up on me
My lady love is calling to me
(Chorus) (F G Am)
Storms crashing, gears mash'n, I'm all alone
Hot steel, cold chrome, I'm rolling home
She's calling to me
Been on the road since god knows when
Miss my dog, I miss my friends
Life is better when I get back home
Far from you I hate to roam
400 hundred miles till I'll be free
My lady love is calling to me
(Chorus)
Storms crashing, gears mash'n, I'm all alone
Hot steel, cold chrome, I'm rolling home
She's calling to me
Fog ahead, tail lights are red
Screaming back her down
No fender bends, all ok
Were homeward bound
Oh the road is clear, put the hammer down
My lady love is calling to me
(Chorus)
Storms crashing, gears a mash'n, I'm all alone
Hot steel, cold chrome, I'm rolling home
She's calling to me
Sun is rising, the air is sweet
Fields a fire with golden wheat
Slow her down, turn 'er in our lane
Set the break, I'm home again
Finally back, it's you I see
My lady love is calling to me
(Chorus) x2
Storms crashing, gears mash'n, I'm all alone
Hot steel, cold chrome, I'm rolling home
She's calling to me
