Driving rain
40 miles out of Michigan
Spiderweb headlights
Shut me down
I knocked on the door
I rang the bell
The sign said vacancy
There was no-one around
18 wheels up against the wall
56 tons of grain alcohol
Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong
But my will is gone
My will is gone
My will is gone
Lightning flashing
Standing in a phone booth
I called her number
I got a machine
I heard her voice
I heard the tone
I tried to speak
Couldn't say anything
18 wheels up against the wall
56 tons of grain alcohol
Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong
But my will is gone
My will is gone
My will is gone
Blinding snow
Sioux City Iowa
It dawned on me
She was gone to stay
I jammed the brakes
I swung it around
Now I'm headed back
But it's way too late
18 wheels up against the wall
56 tons of grain alcohol
Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong
But my will is gone
My will is gone
My will is gone
