[Verse 1]
Dm              F
  Diesel powers 18 wheels to rolling
    G                         Dm
As I pull it on to the Interstate
        Dm           F
I've got 13 hours to make my destination
     G                             A
And I don't wanna stop to check my weight
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bb                            C    Dm        C
  There won't be no sleep for me tonight, no
     Bb                        A
I've gotta be hitting Tulsa by first morning light
 
 
[Chorus]
      Dm              C
I'm a prisoner of the highway
G                        Dm
Driven on by my restless soul
          Dm              C
Call me a prisoner of the highway
  G                              Dm
Imprisoned by the freedom of the road

Dm                        F
  I've run freight out of Wheeling, West Virginia
G                         Dm
  And US Steel from Bethlehem
Dm                   F
 I've rolled tobacco out of the Carolina's
G                              A
  California wines into Birmingham
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bb                      C     Dm         C
  Some people work just to survive, yeah
    Bb                          A
But up here in this cab, that's when I'm most alive
 
 
[Chorus]
      Dm              C
I'm a prisoner of the highway
G                        Dm

G
  I've got a wife living back in Tennessee
        G                              Dm
And she tries to understand the way I feel
G
I could give my hands to another line of work
       Bb7                              Asus4 A
But my heart would always be behind the wheel

I'm a prisoner of the highway

Imprisoned by the freedom of the road
 
                     Dm              C
Don't you know I'm a prisoner of the highway
G                        Dm
Driven on by my restless soul
          Dm              C
Call me a prisoner of the highway
