Lights On The Hill - Slim Dusty, The Travelling Country Band

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 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

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' they’re full

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

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

Ah-hah-hah-no

The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time

The song they sing is a part of my mind

And 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

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

Ah-hah-hah-no

The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time

The song they sing is a part of my mind

And 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
