Lights on the Hill Songtext
von Slim Dusty

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 are 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
