      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.
