作曲：Trevor Lucas/Peter William Roche

Set out from carlarfe sun beside him

Sinking low across an empty field

Old moon a rising the first lone star shining

Shadows rolling down the lonely hills

Run down by lichfield and

the rain it started pouring

Water flowing up along the road

Listen to the rumble of the ten

big wheels a turning

Listen for the shifting of the load

Knights of the road riders of the highways

Hauling the load

Making it the hard way

Miles crack on by and he sang with his engines

The old tunes like kisses sweeter than wine

Dreaming of the girl he'd be

lying with the sunrise

Another lonely milestone passed him by

Knights of the road riders of the highways

Hauling the load

Making it the hard way

Lightning it crashed and he never saw it coming

They found him with his hands still at the wheel

Just another poor boy trying to

keep 'em running

He died lugging 30 tons of steel

Knights of the road riders of the highways

Making it the hard way
