When the city is sleeping and the highway is black

I’m shifting the gears and I’m keeping track

Hauling the steel, the sound and the lights

To build up the magic for stadium nights

They only see the star when the spotlight is bright

But somebody’s got to move the mountain tonight

It takes calloused hands and a proud, stubborn soul

Before the crowd starts to scream for the rock and the roll

(Behind the spotlight), we keep the wheels rolling

We’re always on the move, we’re always going

(Behind the spotlight) The wheels are rolling all night

The load is unloaded, the ramp is put down

Truckers hit the catering first in this town

Then I climb up to my bunk just to look for some peace

But the noise from the stage just refuses to cease

Trying to sleep while the subwoofers shake

With the stadium rocking, it’s hard to escape

While the crowd goes insane and they’re having a ball

I’m just trying to dream behind a thin metal wall

(Behind the spotlight), we keep the wheels rolling

We’re always on the move, we’re always going

(Behind the spotlight) The wheels are rolling all night

No hotel room, just the cabin I keep

While the thunder outside is killing my sleep

But I won’t complain, no, my spirit is strong

I’m the heartbeat that’s driving this rock and roll song

Yeah, the road has been rough, but my spirit is high

I look at the world with a spark in my eye

From the bottom to the top, I know what I’m worth

I’m the engine that moves the greatest show on earth!

(Behind the spotlight), we keep the wheels rolling

We’re always on the move, we’re always going

(Behind the spotlight) The wheels are rolling all night
