Diamonds on the windshield, as heaven starts to cry,
In his rearview mirror his angle waves goodbye.
She knows he's got to go, she knows he's one of them.

Chorus:

Brothers of the highway, children of the wind,
That Detroit diesel pirat ship goes rolling out again.
Sailing for that settin' sun, freedom's your best friend.
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.

He putts the pedal to the metal, trying to outrun the rain.
Another shot of Truckstop coffee, goes running through his vains.
This country turns on eighteen wheels, thank God we can depend on,

Chorus:

Brothers of the highway, children of the wind,
That Detroit diesel pirat ship goes rolling out again.
Sailing for that settin' sun, freedom's your best friend.
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.

Carolina west to Denver, Baton rouge east to Pittsburg, Portland south to San Diego, sail on, sail on.
Talahassy north to Boston, up to Bangor , west to Austin, coast to coast, sail on, sail on.

Chorus:

Brothers of the highway, children of the wind,
That Detroit diesel pirat ship goes rolling out again.
Sailing for that settin' sun, freedom's your best friend.
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.

God bless you brothers of the highway, children of the wind.
