Long Night

Theres 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 --- Long Night - Lee Kernaghan
