Lyrics

Crosswind

[Verse 1]

I can see what's comin' for me by the way that it's bendin' the pines

Brother, me and these 18-wheels are gonna hammer on down the line

Flyin' like a bat out of hell, tearin' out of North Alabama

Signs are sayin' "Jesus Saves" but the devil don't give a damn

[Chorus]

Tryin' to keep all the rubber on 65

Might not make it out alive

White knucklin' the wheel just to survive

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

[Verse 2]

Sometimes, what drives a man ain't nothin' but a matter of will

When a man's got a heavy load, he just tryin' to make it over thе hill

Burnin' the hours taking truck-stop showers and sleepin' in the chеap motels

Pickin' up speed on a mission to feed five kids with a CDL

[Chorus]

Tryin' to keep all the rubber on 65

Might not make it out alive

White knuckling the wheel just to survive

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

[Verse 3]

It's a fight in the dark of night with another hundred miles to run

When your mind starts tryin' to find ways to get you out from under the gun

This livin' ain't much of a life but it's the only thing I know how to do

I miss you, honey, but I gotta make some money

So, I'm hopin' I can make it through

[Chorus]

Tryin' to keep all the rubber on 65

Might not make it out alive

White knuckling the wheel just to survive

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind

[Outro]

Caught in the crosswind

Caught in the crosswind
