Lights On the Hill

It's a long, straight road and the engine is deep

I can't help thinkin' 'bout a good night's sleep

And the long, long roads of my life were a-callin' me

These rough, old hands are a-glued to the wheel

My eyes full of sand from the way they feel

And the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me

Well, 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 my girl, as sweet as my honey can be

So it's down through the gears, she's a-startin' to pull

The gauge on the tank is showin' they're full

But the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me

There's rain on the road, I can feel the load start a-shiftin'

In a dance

Too late, I see the post, and I haven't got a ghost of a chance

Oh, no

The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time

The song they sing is a part of my mind

I can't believe it's a-really happenin' to me

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-blindin' me

Hey

There's rain on the road and I can feel the load start a-shiftin'

In a dance

Too late, I see the post, and I haven't got a ghost of a chance

Oh, no

The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time

The song they sing is a part of my mind

I can't believe it's a-really happenin' 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-blindin' me

In the rain, when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me
