The sun has opened up my eyes
And I don't wanna leave your side
For that lonesome road
But here I go climbing back behind the wheel
Of fifty feet of chrome and steel
And a load they need in Chicago
Through the middle of the night unknown
I'm on a ride that won't let me go
I'm an asphalt cowboy
Born to run underneath the stars
Pay no mind to my lonely heart
Just ride, ride
'Till I'm back in your arms again
I'll be out here on the wind
Sometimes late at night
I see your picture by the dashboard light
And it takes me where I'd like to be
Wrapped up in a blanket there
Pullin' ribbons from your hair
And your kiss, girl that's what I miss
Still I drive these horses through the rain and snow
This high speed rodeo is all I know
(Chorus)
And I'll ride
Untill I'm back in your arms again
I'll be out there on the wind
And I'll ride
Through the middle of the night unknown
On a ride that won't let me go
Asphalt cowboy
fade out
