There's a storm blowing off the mountain
It's not a welcome sight
From a cigarette swag on a two dog night
I'm so tired of this droving the dirt and dust and heat
And I'm weary to my bones but I can't sleep
It's a long night staring at the fire light
It's a long night missing you
It's a long night and the wind begins to bite
Long ong lonely night
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
Calls Mary on his satellite telephone and he tells her
It's a long night staring at the dashboard light
It's a long night missing you
It's a long night and the wind begins to bite
Long ong lonely night
Intstrumental
Spoken
Well Maggies beau shoots roo's for a livin' while she waits at home
Well there's a Qantas pilot flying out to Rome
Nurses are doing the night shift while a copper walks the beat
Ohhhh I'm still crowding the fire trying to make some heat
It's a long night staring at the fire light
It's a long night missing you
It's such a long night and the wind begins to bite
Long ong lonely night
