Well he's following the broken line

Living on borrowed time

Motel rooms and broken hearts all left behind

Swear he couldnt close his eyes

Shifts into overdrive

He's been up and down this road so many times

The man on his own

Searching just keeps him moving

And only the road

Can take the rebel in his soul



CHORUS 1

It's the rhythm of the highway

As he rolls on by

The city lights as a faithful sign

Drive that man behind that driving wheels



VERSE 2

Like a cowboy in a rodeo

Riding hard but never letting go

But he'll be wand'ring through the twilight of his life

Waylon Jennnings on the radio

The country music and engine roar

Like a shooting star across a desert sky

Out he's got a home

Outside on the blue horizon

And God only knows

There's still a rebel in his soul



CHORUS 1



CHORUS 2

And chase the satellite

In the distant sky

Open plains to the mountains high

Drive that man behind that driving wheels



Well he's thought about settling down

A little diver on the edge of town

But in this world of push and shove

He still got freedom in his heart



It's the rhythm of the highway
