i got eighteen wheels and a polished rig 
im in a big ol' hurry and i do mean big 
got to get this load to the kamen town 
before the sun comes up and they shut me down 
oo oo overdrive 


i got stopped by the man at the seagle scale 
got sidetracked by the waitress at the steak and ale 
got walayed, all day, traffic jam. 
just south of the border down in alabam. 
oo oo overdrive 

overdrive 
i got to roll on just to survive 
the only time i feel alive 
is when i kick it into 
oo oo overdrive 

my momma said when i was born 
i was born on the run 
my daddy was a truck drivin son of a gun 
got a highway song running through my brain 
got desiel oil running through my veins 
oo oo overdrive 

overdrive 
i got to roll on just to survive 
the only time i feel alive 
is when i kick it into 
oo oo overdrive 

15 break 

overdrive 
i got to roll on just to survive 
the only time i feel alive 
is when i kick it into 
oo oo overdrive 

i had a dream last night that i was standin still 
woke up broke out sweatin a chill 
when the white line stops,they better lay down 
in a cab over coffin in the cold hard ground 
oo oo overdrive 

overdrive 
i got to roll on just to survive 
the only time i feel alive 
is when i kick it into
