Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ohh, yeah
[Verse 2]
It's a long, straight road and the engine is deep
I can't help thinking of a good night's sleep
And the long, long roads of my life were a-calling me
These rough old hands are a-glued to the wheel
My eyes full of sand from the way they feel
And the lights coming over the hill are a-blinding me
[Verse 3]
It's a long, tough haul from a-way down south
A man's gotta find a little bread for his mouth
And a home for a girl as sweet as my honey can be
So it's down through the gears, she's a-starting to pull
The gauge on the tank is a-showing they're full
And the lights coming over the hill are a-blinding me
[Verse 4]
There's rain on the road
And I can feel the load start a-shifting in a dance
Too late I see the post and I haven't got a ghost of a chance, ah, no
[Verse 5]
The windscreen wipers are a -beating in time
The song they sing is a part of my mind
And I can't believe it's a-really happening to me
Oh, but I'm over the edge and down the mountain side
I know they'll tell about the night I died
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blinding me, hey
[Verse 6]
There's rain on the road
And I can feel the load start a-shifting in a dance
Too late I see the post and I haven't got a ghost of a chance, ah, no
[Verse 7]
The windscreen wipers are a-beating in time
The song they sing is a part of my mind
And I can't believe it's a really happening to me
Oh, but I'm over the edge and down the mountain side
I know they'll tell about the night I died
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blinding me
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blinding me
