Long Night

Long Night Lyrics

There's a strong wind blowing off the mountain
It's not a welcome sight
From a cigarette swag on a two dog night
Im so tired of this droving
The dirt, the durt and heat
I'm weary to my bones but I can't sleep
CHORUS1
It's a long night staring at the fire light
It's a long night missin' you
It's a long night and the wind begins to bite
It's a lonely night missing you
Andy drives a road train, He's been away a while
But to make ends meet, he's gotta make a mile
By morning if he drives all night, he just might make it home
He calls Mary on his satellite telephone
And he says
CHORUS2
It's a long night staring at the dash board light
It's a long night missin' you
It's a long night and the wind begins to bite
It's a lonely night missing you
Maggie's beau shoots roos for a living while she waits at home
And there's a Quantas piliot flying out to Rome
Nurses are doing nightshift while a copper walks the beat
And I'm still crowding the fire trying to make some heat
CHORUS 1
