Freddie

I climbed up in the cab, grabbed the wheel and turned the key

Just a man with a diesel dream, wild and running free

They call me Freddie, yeah, I’m a truck driving fool

Never had much use for moving slow or following the rules

I hit the interstate and leave the past behind

Got the throttle pushed down and the white lines on my mind

I’m running wide open, pedal straight to the floor

Every mile I conquer just makes me hunger for more

I might speed a little too much, but I hold a steady wheel

Just an awesome driver made of diesel smoke and steel

Yeah, I'm chasing down the horizon, racing with the sun

If I just keep at it, there ain't nothing I can't get done

I remember when I started, learning how to shift the gears

Now I’m out here blowing doors off, outrunning all my fears

I keep my spirit open as the highway up ahead

I'd rather burn the asphalt up than be sleeping in a bed

They see the taillights fading, hear the rumble of the stack

Once I set my sights on something, I ain't looking back

I’m running wide open, pedal straight to the floor

Every mile I conquer just makes me hunger for more

I might speed a little too much, but I hold a steady wheel

Just an awesome driver made of diesel smoke and steel

Yeah, I'm chasing down the horizon, racing with the sun

If I just keep at it, there ain't nothing I can't get done

It ain't always easy on this endless ribbon of gray

But a stubborn kind of faith is gonna carry me away

I look in the mirror and I know exactly who I am

A man who won't ever quit, giving it all that he can

'Cause I’m running wide open, pedal straight to the floor

Every mile I conquer just makes me hunger for more

I might speed a little too much, but I hold a steady wheel

Just old Freddie, a fool made of diesel smoke and steel

Yeah, I'm chasing down the horizon, racing with the sun

If I just keep at it, there ain't nothing I can't get done

Yeah, I can do anything, and my run has just begun
