Today we are proud to present the official music video for our latest single, "18 Wheels & Empty Hands."

If you are a fan of authentic country music storytelling, heavy truck driving country songs, independent country music artists, or classic cinematic music videos about the hard-earned trucker lifestyle, this deep-cut country anthem was written exactly for you.

📝 COMPLETE LYRICS FOR "18 WHEELS & EMPTY HANDS":
[VERSE 1]
I was somewhere in Nebraska when my sister called me crying
Said daddy took a bad turn and the doctors said he's dying
I had forty tons behind me and two hundred miles remaining
Pushed that old Pete harder through the dark and through the raining

[PRE-CHORUS]
I called ahead and told him, hold on daddy I'm coming through
But the road had different plans for me like it always seems to do

[CHORUS]
Eighteen wheels and empty hands, I delivered for every man
Carried everything but what mattered most, just a trucker with empty hands
Eighteen wheels and empty hands, gave this road my best years and
Never missed a load in thirty years, but I missed you in the end

[VERSE 2]
Pulled into that parking lot with the sun just barely rising
Ran those halls in dirty boots past the nurses and the crying
Room was quiet when I got there, just my sister and the silence
Daddy's hands were cold already and I stood there without guidance

[PRE-CHORUS]
I sat beside him anyway, held his hand and bowed my head
Said I'm sorry I wasn't here for all the things we left unsaid

[CHORUS]
Eighteen wheels and empty hands, I delivered for every man
Carried everything but what mattered most, just a trucker with empty hands
Eighteen wheels and empty hands, gave this road my best years and
Never missed a load in thirty years, but I missed you in the end

[BRIDGE]
He knew I loved this highway, never once complained
Said boy you keep on rolling, someone's got to move this freight
But sometimes late at night now, when the radio goes still
I hear him say I'm proud of you son, and I probably always will

[FINAL CHORUS]
Eighteen wheels and empty hands, I delivered for every man
Carried everything but what mattered most, just a trucker with empty hands
But if heaven's got a loading dock and daddy's working there
I'll pull up in this old Pete and finally meet him where

[OUTRO]
[Engine idling down]
[CB radio crackles]
"Daddy..."
"I made it..."
[Silence]
[Steel guitar fades]
