Lights On The Hill (Remastered 1992)

Slim Dusty, Travelling Country Band
Album : Prime Movers

Oh hoh hoh hoh 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 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
