I'm running down this highway Don't remember where I slept last night I just remember halfway through the night I woke up stiff with fright I dreamed there was no asphalt I dreamed there was no gasoline Felt like a rat caught in some nowhere town I woke up and screamed This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway's mine
I grew up on the dragstrip I used to shut em down I used to take their pinkslips There's a sucker born in every town I never showed no mercy I blew them all away They stood there and cursed me As I towed their lives away
I used to run the cocaine I used to run the weed These days I'm just running Tryin' to make this highway bleed Sometimes the only difference 'tween me and this machine Is I run on desperation She runs on gasoline
I'm the Roadmaster The Asphalt Blaster Mess with me and I'll shut you down The bad thing The highway king and I've come to claim my kingdom now
