Night Rider Songtext
von C.W. McCall

Well, a-truckin′ on the night line, quarter past 5
Tryin' to get my rig and me to Frisco alive
Fog lights up tight, a-givin′ me the creeps
Just a Winnemucca trucker with a load a' black sheep

(Night rider)

I got a belly full a' jelly and head full a′ pain
Bennies spinnin′ spider webs, a-messin' my brain
Tryin′ to get myself together with a shot o' black c
What I really oughtta get me is an hour of z′s

(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, think you′ve gone blind)


Well, a Alabammy mammy got a spell on my life
Kansas city kitty cut my heart out tonight
I lost a C-note in Reno offa keno and craps
And now smokey′s on the overpass a-settin' his traps
White lines a laser 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 o' sheep

(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, think you've gone blind)

(Night rider)

(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 LA


(Night rider, night rider, losin′ your mind) Yeah
(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)
(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)
