Rolling on that cold Dakota freeway
I-29 northbound and down
40 thousand pounds to drop in Manitoba
Hitch another load and turn this rig around
Winter wind blasts snow across the highway
The temperature continues to fall
Pillow drifts and wind chill minus 60
Hopin' this old Peterbilt don't stall
CHORUS:
There's a pretty brown-haired girl in Kansas City
Waiting for me there when I get home
Dreaming of the day
Big wheels wont't roll away
And she won't have to spend her nights alone
Now I'm southbound and well across the border
Out of Grand Forks and I've got the hammer down
Won't be long before I'm blowin' into Fargo
I'll stop for coffee and some diesel in that town
And I'll push on thru the night in South Dakota
Should be getting into Sioux Falls with the dawn
Then I'll be about halfway to Kansas City
I'll catch 40 winks and then keep moving on
REPEAT CHORUS
Well this stretch of 29 goes on forever
IOWA stands for "I Oughtta Went Around"
Can't see nothing but gray lanes in my windsheild
And miles and miles of flat snow covered ground
Now to the West I see the line of the Missouri
Hamburg on the border's comin' soon
I'll be havin' lunch today in Kansas City
And some lovin' with that girl this afternoon
REPEAT CHORUS 2X
