Well he's following the broken line
  Living on borrowed time
  Motel rooms and broken hearts all left behind
  Swear he could close his eyes
  As he shifts into overdrive
  He's been up and down this road so many times
  The man on his own
  Searching just keeps him moving
  And only the road
  Can take the rebel in his soul
  
  CHORUS 1
  It's the rhythm of the highway
  As it rolls on by
  The city lights as they fade from sight
  Drives the man behind the driving wheels
  
  VERSE 2
  Like a cowboy in a rodeo
  Riding hard but never letting go
  But he'll be wand'ring through the twilight of his life
  Waylon Jennnings on the radio
  The country music and engine roar
  Like a shooting star across a desert sky
  If he's got a home
  It's out on the blue horizon
  Heaven only knows
  There's still a rebel in his soul
  
  CHORUS 1
  
  CHORUS 2
  And chase the sunrise
  In the distant sky
  Open plains to the mountains high
  Drives the man behind the driving wheels
  
  Well he's thought about settling down
  A little diner on the edge of town
  But in this world of push and shove
  He still got freedom in his heart
  
  It's the rhythm of the highway...
