Sunrise out of Dallas,
midnight to L .A.
Blowing stacks in diesel smoke
by San Francisco Bay
Just think about me baby
from those signs along the way
Soft shoulder
Oh, it's rainin' in Seattle
And hot in Tupelo
Got stuck in Winnemucca
On a mountain full of snow
Oh, but think what's waitin' for you
When you're finally makin' home
Soft shoulder
Soft shoulder
She's gonna lighten up my load
Soft shoulder
I'll take nine wheels off the road
It's coming or it's going,
always on the move
The road is rough and rocky,
but the show that's nice and smooth
Soft shoulder
Well, I could use a little rest
You can't spend the night on this
Soft shoulder
Country music, country
White lines flying by
Dancing headlights, burning holes
Into these sleepy eyes
But it won't be long till you can rest
your tired head on my
Soft shoulder
Soft shoulder
She's gonna lighten up my load
Soft shoulder
I'll take nine wheels off the road
It's coming or it's going
Always on the move
The road is rough and rocky
But the show is nice and smooth
Soft shoulder
I could use a little rest
Well, you can't spend the night on this
Soft shoulder
Mr. DJ, won't you play a song
for my sweet baby
Gotta keep him drivin' home
So I can drive him crazy
Soft shoulder
She's gonna lighten up my load
Soft shoulder
I'll take nine years off the road
It's coming or it's going
Always on the move
The road is rough and rocky
But the shoulder's nice and smooth
Soft shoulder
Soft shoulder,
there'll be no more nights alone.
Soft shoulder,
I got to find my way back home.
Soft shoulder,
you can rest your head on mine.
Soft shoulder,
driving through the night.
Soft shoulder,
push that pedal to the floor.
Soft shoulder,
touch the highway to shore.
