lyrics

deep in the night
I can't keep score
she wanders in like she's been
here before
looks round the room
whiskey-and-coke
like she's been looking for a
bruise to poke

she can't keep still
she's working fast
every man staring at the
bottom of his glass
put down my bottle
and seal my fate
someday they'll find me
making license plates
I can't look away
lord, help me now

eight axles on a two-lane road
she's like a river running wild
ain't got nowhere to flow
she's bearing down with a
great big load
eight axles on a two-lane road

one man wants love
one man will kill
everybody's looking for a
different thrill
what she wants
is stronger stuff
they never built a spotlight
bright enough

here comes the part
here comes the scene
here comes the daily dose of
benzedrine
somebody coughs
a drink is spilled
they're gonna hear that slap
in Kernersville
the game is on
lord, help me now

eight axles on a two-lane road
she's like a river running wild
ain't got nowhere to flow
she's bearing down with a
great big load
eight axles on a two-lane road
