Ruby was a wild child nobody could hold her down
She was the daughter of an angel but the devil seemed to get her somehow
Folks called her a red neck told her she was way out of hand
She was heading down a road to no where into no man's land
Ruby was a dreamer, dreamed about a brighter day
"If I ever get a chance to make it gonna have to make it pay
She was running every red light driving down the road to hell
But out there on the highway was the answer to this tolling bell

She said "Get this 18 wheeler on the go"
"Wanna wake up in the morning in a new town I don't know"
"I wanna be free when the sun goes down"
"But I'm never gonna get there while I'm living this old town"
So fire it up
Shift some gears
Hit the road
Cause you'll never haul anything heavier than my sad soul

Finally that day came, knew she had to be on her way
Left a note for Mumma said "I've got to be leaving today"
Slipping down the back streets down beside the old hotel
She stood out on the highway found the answer to her tolling bell

She said "Get this 18 wheeler on the go"
"Wann a wake up in the morning in a new town I don't know"
"I wanna be free when the sun goes down"
"But I'm never gonna get there while I'm living this old town"
So fire it up
Shift some gears
Hit the road
Cause you'll never haul anything heavier than my sad soul

She said "Get this 18 wheeler on the go"
"Wanna wake up in the morning in a new town I don't know"
"I wanna be free when the sun goes down"
"But I'm never gonna get there while I'm living this old town"
So fire it up
Shift some gears
Hit the road
Cause you'll never haul anything heavier than my sad soul
