Daylight's rising across the plains
   This rig is streaking like a hellbound train
   I smuggle whiskey, I smuggle gin
   Where there's a need well I just truck on in
  
   I'm a gambling man, son of a gun
   I'll take the risks now baby I'll make the run
   Wanna get home now, back in the saddle
   Ain't gonna drive this kinda grade A cattle
  
   Daylight's rising across the plains
   This rig is streaking like a hellbound train
   Albuquerque now, New Mexico
   This .???.. one night show, yeah
  
  
   * (And I'm) one step closer to the devil
   One step further from the law
   Lord I guess I'm just on borrowed time
   But I'm one step closer to the
   One step closer to the borderline
  
   18 hours on this one long shift
   Wanna hear the sweet sound of my tailgate lift
   Lord I'm dying out on this road
   Wanna see my baby, help me unload
  
   * Repeat
  
   [INSTRUMENTAL]
  
   Rolling stock now, shifting steel
   Got a woman with a touch to heal
   Diesel, dust and my wheels are humming
   So close to home, can you feel me coming
  
   * Repeat
   To the borderline...
   To the borderline
  
   [INSTRUMENTAL]
  
   * Repeat
   To the borderline...
   To the borderline...
  
   Wheels are rollin' down on home
