Lyrics
King of the road
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Erst wenn die Straße brennt (bin ich)
voll in meinem Element.
Wie ich zur Tanke hetz'
für Kaffee und Cigarettes, (und dann)
geht's wieder voll aufs Gas -
geil, wie ich den Benz wegblas'! (Ich bin)
fast ein Formel-1-Pilot:
King of the Road!
Die linke Spur ist selten frei -
ich blinke links und ziehe rechts vorbei.
Doch erst im tristen Stau
werd' ich zur echten Pistensau (und fahr')
200 km/h -
wofür ist die Standspur da?
Nennt mich bitte nicht 'Chaot',
King of the Road!
Privat bin ich nett und hilfsbereit.
Im Auto werde ich zu Mr. Hyde.
Ich sag' höflich "Guten Tag",
bevor ich dich in'n Graben jag'! (Doch ich)
find' da nix Besond'res dran, (ich bin ein)
ganz normaler deutscher Mann, (ich bin)
nur ein Autobahn-Despot -
King of the Road!
Das macht alles wenig Sinn, (doch das)
liegt in meinen Genen drin.
Das Auto ist die Waffe des kleinen Manns:
Je größer der Wagen, desto kleiner das Ego...
ich lieb' die Autobahn, (und ich)
liebe das Autofahr'n. (Ich bin)
cool und schnell und 'n Idiot -
King of the Road!
