Hermann Lammers Meyer - Highway Heroes Lyrics

Drizzelin` rain, fallin` snow,
Black ice highways, time to go
The diesel`s roaring`, I smell the black smoke
Good bye little woman, I`m back on the road

Yeah, I`ll be careful, you can count on that
Yes, I´ll be pickin` my food, I will chose low fat
Find toys for the little ones, I know Christmas is near
Hey` I`m the boss of this highway, you need not fear

A hot cup of coffee from the old tin can
Watch `em windshield wipers fightin` ice and rain
The radio`s blasting “Phantom 309”
Man, that`s still my favorite, thanks Red Sovine

Chorus:

Highway Heroes, some call us that
Highway Heroes, wear a Freightliner cap
We`re the drivers, we`re white line fools
Highway heroes, man, we`re just like you

There`s a jackknived Jimmy outside of Little Rock
“Breaker Breaker Charlie, y`all need any help ?”
“No thanks Buddy, no one got hurt
But you have a Merry Christmas, son, - and thanks for the word”

Last run before Christmas, I say to myself
While George and Tammy sing Silver Bells
And that all night DJ keeps me awake
Hell I`m not gettin`tired, I`m doin` great

Chorus :

I´m checkin` them tires and fill her up again
Ham and egg lady, you`re a truckers friend
18 wheels rollin` , and they`re takin` me home
They`re hummin` the road song down to San Antone

Chorus:
