18 Wheels
written & composed by D. Webster [Dec., 1987] c1991 (SOCAN)

Take your cold heart away
I don't want it next to mine
Take your cold heart away
I ain't got the strength to be near it

Your lips are always sweet
your eyes glow in the night
your arms hold me tight
your body, warm next to mine

but I know you'll be loving someone else
when I climb them 18 wheels and hit the road

Take your cold heart away
I'd rather be with white lines in the night
Take your cold heart away
with every mile, the better I feel

Your words are always sweet
your voice whispering in my ear
your arms hold me tight
your body burning up inside

but I know you'll be loving someone else
when I climb them 18 wheels and hit the road

I'll be hitting that interstate,
shifting gears and pushing back the night.
You'll be on the telephone,
coast is clear then he'll be at our door.
You'll be loving in his arms,
while I go speeding 'cross,
that old state line.

I know you'll be loving someone else
when I climb them 18 wheels and hit the road

Take your cold heart away
I don't want the chill anymore
Take your cold heart away
set me free so I can be a man once more

I know you'll be loving someone else
when I climb them 18 wheels and hit the road

I'll be hitting that interstate,
shifting gears and pushing back the night.
You'll be on the telephone,
coast is clear then he'll be at our door.
You'll be loving in his arms,
while I go speeding 'cross,
that old state line.

I know you'll be loving someone else
when I climb them 18 wheels and hit the road ...
