Lyrics
Guitar strummin', radio buzzin', the hum of the ride (the ride)
Scannin' all the channels, wide open nationwide (so wide)
[Verse 2]
Saw the sun settin', painted skies of red (bright red)
Heard a funny sound, thought it was in my head (my head)
Looked at my CB, heard a voice not known (unknown)
'Trucker, do ya copy?' in a friendly drone
Hittin' the road, haulin' loads cross the states (the states)
Dodgin' weigh stations and them heavy fines (big fines)
Talkin' on my CB, pickin' up some chatter (chatter)
Heard a space voice sayin', "Hey there, trucker, what's the matter?" (stop)
[Chorus]
Aliens on the airwaves, cruisin' through the sky (oh my)
Big rig trucker with wide-open eyes (surprise)
Pulled off at a diner, pie and coffee strong (real strong)
Saw a flash of light, thought somethin' was wrong (so wrong)
Steppin' out my truck, lookin' up to the stars (bright stars)
There they were, in a UFO, parked by the cars (bizarre)
[Chorus]
Aliens on the airwaves, cruisin' through the sky (oh my)
Big rig trucker with wide-open eyes (surprise)
[Verse 3]
They floated down, with their helmets all aglow (so bright)
Asked me for directions, guessin' which way to go (left or right)
I couldn’t help but laugh, showed ‘em on my map (real fast)
Told 'em 'bout the highways and where to find some gas (low on gas)
Aliens were grateful, offered me a gift (cool gift)
A little Martian gizmo with a galactic twist (sweet shift)
Headed back on the road, laughing all the while (big grin)
With my new gizmo, made the miles feel mild (so wild)
Every truck stop, had a story to share (folk there)
'Bout the time I met Martians, lightin' up the air
Their spaceship zoomed, leavin' trails of blue (deep blue)
Kept that little gizmo, as my good luck too (brand new)
Over hills and valleys, that story's still the same (same as ever)
Folks askin' me 'bout that out-of-this-world game (otherworldly)
With laughs and nods, I spill the tale again (every time)
'Bout those cosmic friends I met while haulin' in my Ken (day and night)
[Chorus]
Aliens on the airwaves, cruisin' through the sky (oh my)
Big rig trucker with wide-open eyes (surprise)
