I left California crossed through Arizona The deserts of New Mexico Up through Colorado through the mountain shadows Denver on the radio Out of Kansas City heading for St. Louis Crossed the Mississippi today I got tickets in my pocket Flying like a rocket clear across USA Hear the wheels a hummin' Baby, I'm coming home All I see is your face Dancing in the headlights glow I'm an overnight rider Burning up the miles that are keeping us apart I'm an overnight rider Rolling down the highway to your heart Halfway through Kentucky Thought that I got lucky found someone to help me drive She woke me up in Atlanta said I'm home now thankyou Mister, you're one heck of a guy Crossed the Carolina's trying to make the time up Smoking up ninety five From Richmond to Philly the trip nearly killed me Now I see the New York City lights Hear the wheels Hummin' Baby, I'm coming home All i is your face Dancing in the headlights glow I'm an overnight rider Burning up the miles that are keeping us apart I'm an overnight rider Rolling down the highway to your heart I'm an overnight rider Burning up the miles that are keeping us apart I'm an overnight rider Rolling down the highway to your heart
