Songtexte

18 wheels are rollin' through the night.
            hm
From Austin Texas West to Bakersfield.
E
20 tons of potatoes in the trailer,
              A
and no way to rest at the next truck-stop.
A
Bill, a truckin'-man from head to toe,
       D
he's in love with his rig and his heavy load.
             fism
Hello Arizona, here I come!
           E
A cloud of Diesel-smoke in the evening sun.
Chorus:
D fism E
Bill is a real highway-man!
D fism E
With his Pete on the road again.
D fis E
He'd never been in trouble on the road,
D fism E A
eyes on his truck and his heavy load.
Strophe 2
A
She was waving after Phoenix-Arizona,
            hm
standing loose at the road/side.
E
He was blinded by her beauty, and she took his breath.
               A
And he took his feet off the gas and stopped.
A
«Bakersfield's my final destination.
              D
Mind comin'in and take a ride with me?», he said.
         fism
«I'm heading for the sun of California»,
                       E
she yelled, popped in and off they went.
Chorus:
Bill is a real highway-man!
With his Pete on the road again.
He'd never been in trouble on the road,
eyes on his truck and his heavy load.
Solo
Chorus
18 wheels are rollin' through the night again.
But Bill's eyes are not focused on the road.
Still blinded by her beauty he admired the wrong curves.
And so he drove straight on and hit the rocks.
20 tons of potatoes, smashed on the highway.
Broken is the rig, and she was gone.
Bill sat devasted on the roadside,
as she waved him goodbye from another truck.
Reserve
With 80 miles an hour on the highway,
