[Verse 1]

The sun has opened up my eyes

And I don't wanna leave your side

For that lonesome road

But here I go

Climbin' back behind the wheel

Of fifty feet of chrome and steel

And a load they need in Chicago

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Through the middle of the night unknown

I am on a ride that won't let me go

[Chorus]

I'm an asphalt cowboy

Born to run underneath the stars

Pay no mind to my lonely heart

I just ride, ride

'Til I'm back in your arms again

I'll be out here on the wind

[Verse 2]

And sometimes late at night

I see your picture by the dashboard light

And it takes me

Where I'd like to be

Wrapped up in a blanket there

Pulling ribbons from your hair, and your kiss

Girl, that's what I miss

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Still I drive these horses through the rain and snow

This high-speed rodeo is all I know

[Chorus]

I'm an asphalt cowboy

Born to run underneath the stars

Pay no mind to my lonely heart

I just ride, ride

'Til I'm back in your arms again

I'll be out here on the wind

[Outro]

And I'll ride

'Til I'm back in your arms again

I'll be out here on the wind

And I'll ride

Through the middle of the night unknown

I'm on a ride that won't let me go
