I gotta itchin' shoes and a dose of the blues this morning,
A simple story too beer and fun,
I won't feel so bad when I'm back in the cab an' I'm movin',
Headin' out on the Highway Number One.
When I left my mates I was feelin' great I remember,
We were full of noise and ready for the run.
I didn't think I had too much drink so it shows ya,
Oh it must be the sleep that brings a man undone.
Heading interstate with a load of freight at sunrise,
No maps to read I got all I need in my roadmap eyes,
Oh Let the diesels roar but don't slam the doors when you're leavin',
As I find my way on the Highway Number One.

Hey!
I put a cartridge in, it starts to spin and it's playin',
Something about a sad hangover song,
Oh my head's so sore from the night before that I'm sayin',
Oh diesel won't you take me gently home.
Headin' interstate with a load of freight at sunrise,
No maps to read I got all I need, here in my roadmap eyes,
Oh Let the diesels roar but don't slam the doors when you're leavin',
As I find my way on the Highway Number One.
