Oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah ♪ It's a long straight road and the engine is deep I can't help thinkin' of a good night's sleep And the long, long roads of my life are 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 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-startin' to pull The gauge on the tank is a-showin' near full The lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me There's rain on the road and I can feel my load start a-shiftin' In a dance Too late, I see the post and I haven't got a ghost of a chance Oh-oh-oh-no The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time The song they're singin' is a part of my mind I can't believe this is 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 ♪ There's rain on the road and I can feel the load start shiftin' In a dance Too late to see the post and I haven't got a ghost of a chance Oh-oh-oh-no The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time The song they're singin' is a part of my mind I can't believe this is really happenin' to me But it's 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 Me, me, me ♪ Oh, yeah ♪ Come on
