(bill fries, chip davis)
[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 |
