D
1. It's a long straight road and the engine is deep,
G
I can't help thinkin' of a good night's sleep,
A D
and the long long roads of my life are a-callin' me
D
These rough old hands are a-glued to the wheel,
G
my eyes full of sand from the way they feel,
A D
and the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me.
D
2. It's a long tough haul from a-way down south,
G
a man's gotta find a little bread for his mouth,
A D
and a home for a girl as sweet as my honey can be.
D
So it's down through the gears, she's a-startin' to pull,
G
the gauge on the tank is a-showin' near full,
A D
and the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me.
A
There's rain on the road and I can feel the load
D
start a-shiftin' in a dance,
A
too late, I see the post and I haven't got a ghost
D
of a chance, a-ha-ha-no
D
3. The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time,
G
the song they sing is a part of my mind,
A D
and I can't believe this is really happenin' to me.
D
Oh but I’m over the edge and down the mountain side,
G
I know they'll tell about the night I died,
A D
in the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me.
