Across the open highways where the endless shadows flow, Through crowded towns and city lights that flicker far below, I stop beneath the neon glow where weary travelers stay, And rest beside the roadside lights that guide me on my way.

I am a modern cowboy, a rider of the road, In command of my steel mechanical steed. I defy time, I defy distance, Because the farther I go, the more I feel free.

I breathe the taste of freedom in the silence of the night, Far away from clocks and chains that try to hold me tight, I shut the engine softly down and let my steed unwind, Leaving all the noise and rush of yesterday behind.

I am a modern cowboy, a rider of the road, In command of my steel mechanical steed. I defy time, I defy distance, Because the farther I go, the more I feel free.

A thousand miles are waiting where tomorrow's sunlight gleams, White lines stretching endlessly beyond my waking dreams, For now I lay my burden down beside the trailers' glow, And rest before the dawn returns to call me down the road.

I climb into my sleeper berth and slowly close my eyes, While diesel engines hum below like distant lullabies, The rolling thunder of the trucks becomes a soothing sound, As moonlight paints the parking lot and shadows gather round.

I am a modern cowboy, a rider of the road, In command of my steel mechanical steed. Freedom is my law, the highway is my way, And at dawn tomorrow, I'll be on my way again.
