Lyrics

[Intro – Spoken over low-tuned chugging guitars]
Yeah... 18 wheels of steel...
Midnight run, Oklahoma blacktop...
Let’s burn it down!

[Verse 1]
Pedal down on the interstate,
Chrome exhaust stack spitting flames,
Peterbilt beast, 800 horses,
Haulin’ freight through the pourin’ rain.
My stereo’s blastin’ Slayer and Priest,
While the CB crackles with the voice of the beast,
“Breaker breaker, this is Iron Horse,
I’m runnin’ heavy, stay clear of my course!”

[Pre-Chorus]
Tattoos on my arms, scars on my soul,
Highway my church, diesel my fuel,
Every mile marker a battle cry,
Another load, another war tonight!

[Chorus]
I’m a heavy metal truck driver!
Ridin’ thunder down the line!
18 wheels of destruction,
Leavin’ rubber and broken hearts behind!
Heavy metal truck driver!
Man of chrome and gasoline!
From Tulsa to the Texas line,
I live for the riff and the scream!

[Verse 2]
Crosswinds howlin’ like a banshee wail,
Black ice tryin’ to send me to hell,
But I downshift, grip that wheel tight,
Metallica blastin’ “Ride the Lightning” tonight.
Log book’s full, but my soul stays wild,
Outlaw spirit behind the windshield smile,
They call me crazy, say I drive too hard,
I just smile and flip ‘em the devil horns, yard by yard!

[Pre-Chorus]
Coffee black as midnight oil,
Eyes bloodshot but the fire won’t spoil,
Every mountain pass, every desert stretch,
I’m bangin’ my head to the engine’s roar, never rest!

[Chorus]
I’m a heavy metal truck driver!
Ridin’ thunder down the line!
18 wheels of destruction,
Leavin’ rubber and broken hearts behind!
Heavy metal truck driver!
Man of chrome and gasoline!
From Oklahoma City lights,
To the devil’s own highway scene!

[Bridge – Half-time, crushing breakdown]
Breakdown!
Stack pipes bellowin’,
Gears grindin’ like a chainsaw scream,
I was born for this warpath,
Livin’ fast, dyin’ free!
When the reaper comes knockin’,
He’ll find me in the cab,
Middle finger up,
Crankin’ Pantera... full blast!

[Guitar Solo – Fast, wailing, freight-train chaos]

[Final Chorus – Even heavier, gang vocals]
Heavy metal truck driver!
King of the asphalt throne!
Ten-four to the reaper,
I ain’t goin’ home alone!
Heavy metal truck driver!
‘Til the wheels fall off or the engine dies,
I’ll be haulin’ hellfire,
Under these endless skies!

[Outro – Slow, grinding riff fading with engine idle]
Yeah...
Heavy metal truckin’...
Oklahoma born, highway sworn...
See you on the flip side, brothers.
Keep on truckin’... and keep it metal!

*(Final scream)*
IRON HORSE... ROLLIN’ FOREVER!
