rolling down the highway my old ma and me
driving down to memphis to meet her family
in my sixteen wheeler and ma for company
come the morning light we will be in tennesee

driving through the night as fast as we can go
listening to the country songs on the radio
mama sat there singing to her favourite song
in her country voice as we drive along.

looking at clouds as they floating bye
with the moon above lighting up the sky
looking at the stars like diamonds in the night
reaching tennesee  before the morning light

listening to the country songs on the radio
foot down on the peddle as fast as we can go
talking to each other of the days gone by
with the moon above lighting up the sky

in my sixteen wheeler and ma for company
come the morning light we will be in tennesee
stop there for a while with her family
head on home again with my ma and me

driving through the night as fast as we can go
listening to the country songs on the radio
mama sat there singing to her favourite song
in her country voice as we drive along.
