There's a cold wind from Alberta that carries me on down
From Greenbay to the Port shore this rig is homeward bound
Nothings gonna stop me from that boy of mine
It's pedal to the metal and ridin that red line.

Chorus:
Forty tons of iron, sixteen hours to go
Sixteen wheels to take me to the one that I love so
I know he's waiting for me and looking mighty fine
It's pedal to the metal and riding that red line.

Springfield to St. Louie just said goodbye to me
I'm southbound like a nighbird on the wing and sailing free
The morning light will bring him I can see him in the view
My hauling days are over this run is nearly through.

Chorus:
Forty tons of iron, sixteen hours to go
Sixteen wheels to take me to the one that I love so
I know he's waiting for me and looking mighty fine
It's pedal to the metal and riding that red line.

Chorus:
Forty tons of iron, sixteen hours to go
Sixteen wheels to take me to the one that I love so
I know he's waiting for me and looking mighty fine
It's pedal to the metal and riding that red line.

The queen of my destiny riding on the wind
I'm heading home again...
