When I'm here on this highway Breathing diesel smoke Driving hard for hours Trying to make that Memphis show People always ask me "Son what does it take To reach out and touch your dreams?" To them I always say Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Is it a fire that burns you up inside? [Chorus] How bad do you want it? How bad do you need it? Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming With that one thing on your mind? How bad do you want it? How bad do you need it? 'Cause if you want it all You've got to lay it all out on the line I get to make my living Doing what I love Every night I give my heart and soul Sometimes that ain't enough But brother, if you're like me Looking down that road Be careful of that wild wind, son Sometimes it don't let go Can you feel it? Can you taste it? Can you hear it knocking at your door? [Chorus] There's always a price you pay no matter what you do If you're gonna climb that mountain to the top It always comes down to [Chorus]
