[A ghostly chorus]
|
Night rider
|
|
Well, a-truckin' on the night line, quarter past five
|
Tryin' to get my rig an' me to 'Frisco alive
|
Fog lights up tight, a-givin' me the creeps
|
Just a Winnemucca trucka with a load a' black sheep
|
|
[A ghostly chorus]
|
Night rider
|
|
I got a belly full a' jelly and head full a' pain
|
Bennies spinnin' spider webs, a-messin' my brain
|
Tryin' ta get myself together with a shot a' black C
|
What I really oughta get me is an hour a' Zs
|
|
[Chorus, but not ghostly]
|
Night Rider, Night Rider, losin' your mind
|
Look at those lights 'til you think you've gone blind
|
Night Rider, Night Rider, losin' your mind
|
Look at those lights, 'til you've gone blind
|
|
Well, Alabammy Mammy got a spell on my life
|
Kansas City Kitty cut my heart out tonight
|
I lost a C-note in Reno off a' Keno and craps
|
And now Smokey's on the overpass a-settin' his traps
|
White lines lasers burnin' holes in my eyes
|
Feel like I'm hypnotized, think I'm gonna die
|
Interstate 80, gonna get me no sleep
|
Just a-winkin' and a-blinkin' with a stinkin' load a' sheep
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Night Rider, Night Rider, losin' your mind
|
Look at those lights 'til you think you've gone blind
|
Night Rider, Night Rider, losin' your mind
|
Look at those lights, 'til you've gone blind
|
|
[A ghostly chorus]
|
Night rider
|
|
[Ghostly, but it's not the chorus]
|
Ba ba black sheep, have you any wool?
|
Yes sah, yes sah, three bags full
|
One for my master, and one for my dame
|
And one for Jimmy Bowen who lives in L.A.
|
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Night Rider, Night Rider, losin' your mind (yeah)
|
Look at those lights 'til you think you've gone blind
|
|
[Psychotic cackling here. He's losin' it.]
|
|
Night Rider, Night Rider, losin' your mind
|
Look at those lights 'til you think you've gone blind
|
Night Rider, Night Rider, losin' your mind
|
Look at those lights 'til you think you've gone blind
|
|
[Fade out]
|
Night Rider, Night Rider, losin' your mind
|
Look at those lights 'til you think you've gone blind
|
Night Rider, Night Rider, losin' your mind
|
Look at those lights 'til you think you've gone blind
|
Night Rider, Night Rider, losin' your mind
|
Look at those lights 'til you think you've gone blind
|
Night Rider, Night Rider, losin' your mind
|
Look at those lights 'til you think you've gone blind
|
Night Rider, Night Rider, losin' your mind
|
Look at those lights 'til you think you've gone blind
|
