"Prisoner of the Highway" is a song written by Mike Reid, and recorded by American country music singer Ronnie Milsap. It was released in September 1984 as the second single from the album One More Try for Love. The song was later included on one of his compilation albums that was released in 1992; this album was entitled Greatest Hits Vol. 3.
The song tells the story of a truck driver who is enticed, but also "imprisoned", by the highway. Yet he somehow finds freedom behind the wheel. It is rumored that a music video to the song was in post production earlier that year, but was later cancelled, although a video was filmed for the single's b-side "She Loves My Car".
