Midnight falling fast tonight
Heavy air, and a heavy dew
You know how my woman gets
Anytime there's a full moon

Open it up
The engine's howling
This old road it knows the truth
I hear Mississippi calling
Tennessee is on the loose

Ain't no use
Trying to play
Like I'm satisfied
Living somewhere
In between
The country air
And the city lights

Open it up
The engine's howling
This old road it knows the truth
I hear Mississippi calling
Tennessee is on the loose

That old woman
Down the road
Said I better bust a move
You know I'm the kind of man
She put me to a good use

Open it up
The engine's howling
This old road it knows the truth
I hear Mississippi calling
Tennessee is on the loose
