Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 Here we go, Wagga [Chorus] There's a-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 Aww, 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 mountainside I know they'll tell about the night I died In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me [Bridge] This goes out to Nathan Nathan Charlton, this goes out to tonight It's a blast from the past when I'm here Here we go [Chorus] There's a-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 Aww, 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 mountainside 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 One more for Slim, mate In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me
