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
