You grip the wheel with white knuckles
The dashboard light begins to flicker
The old belt drive starts to buckle
The engine pulse is getting quicker
Damp black roads under yellow glare
The scent of oil is in the air
You feel the wind pull at your hair
A heavy load for you to bear
Listen to the asphalt hum
Beat it like a steady drum
Driving till the night is done
Racing till the morning sun
The white lines blur into a streak
The metal frame begins to creak
Your tired eyes are growing weak
The victory is what you seek
Listen to the asphalt hum
Beat it like a steady drum
Driving till the night is done
Racing till the morning sun
The road is long and cold and wide
Nowhere left for you to hide
Push the pedal feel the glide
Take this feeling for a ride
A sudden turn a sharp right bend
The highway feels like it has no end
A broken road you cannot mend
A message that you need to send
The streetlights pass in golden rows
The heavy wind of midnight blows
The hidden path is where it goes
The only truth the driver knows
Listen to the asphalt hum
Beat it like a steady drum
Driving till the night is done
Racing till the morning sun
Just one more mile
Just one more mile
(Asphalt humming)
One more mile
