Headed out of San Fransisco, long before that old sunrise
Nineteen hundred to Houston, roll in Wednesday night
Dallas, K.C., St. Louie, on a Windy City route
Log another thousand miles with no time to lose
Living for the freedom they sacrifice for you
And everything we're needing 'cross the red, white and blue
Heroes with the hammer down, look at all they build
Doing everything they can on eighteen wheels
Rollin' on to Cleveland, in B-Town turn around
Drop in Mini-Apple, then haul on back to town
Losing track of the hours, thinking about the kids
And all they have to do before they do this all again
The American dream keeps rollin' on eighteen wheels
