God, I love the blackness of the night
Cuttin' through that blackness with my brights
Truckers try to run me, troopers try to gun me
God, I love the blackness of the night

Another freedom I won't give up
Another bout with the sun
Livin' for number one
(Whoa, yeah)
Livin' for number one
(Whoa)

God, I love the blackness of the night
Grabbin' what I can and holdin' tight
Ladies try to thrill me, muggers try to kill me
God, I love the blackness of the night

I'll drink to life from the Viking Cup
I run the gauntlet for fun
Livin' for number one
(Whoa, yeah)
Livin' for number one
(Whoa)

I don't owe nothin' to nobody
I don't owe nothin' at all
I'll wipe my sweat on your tapestry
Or rip it right off your wall

Number one
(Whoa, yeah)
Livin' for number one
(Whoa, yeah)
Livin' for number one
(Whoa, yeah)
Livin' for number one
(Whoa, yeah)
I'm number one
(Whoa, yeah)
(Whoa, yeah)
(Whoa, yeah)

(Whoa, yeah)
(Whoa, yeah)
(Whoa, yeah)
(Whoa, yeah)
