I got eighteen wheels and a polished rig
I'm in a big ol' hurry and I do mean big
Gotta get this load to the Kamen Town
Before the sun comes up and they shut me down
Overdrive

I got stopped by the man at the Seagle Scale
Sidetracked by the waitress at the Steak And Ale
Got walayed all day, traffic jam
Just south of the border down in Alabam'
Overdrive

Overdrive
I gotta roll on just to survive
The only time I feel alive
Is when I kick it into overdrive

My momma said when I was born, I was born on the run
My daddy was a truck driving son of a gun
Got a highway song running through my brain
Got diesel oil pumping through my veins
Overdrive

Overdrive
I gotta roll on just to survive
The only time I feel alive
Is when I kick it into overdrive, c'mon

Overdrive
I gotta roll on just to survive
The only time I feel alive
Is when I kick it into overdrive

I had a dream last night, I was standing still
I woke up, broke out sweating a chill
When the white line stops, they better lay down
In a cab over coffin in the cold hard ground
Overdrive

Overdrive
I gotta roll on just to survive
The only time I feel alive
Is when I kick it into overdrive

Overdrive
I gotta roll on just to survive
The only time I feel alive
Is when I kick it into overdrive
I kick it into overdrive
