Night Rider Lyrics

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
