Well, I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight
Those truckers they all flash their lights at me
This highway ain't the very best companion
'Cause I know there's somewhere else I'd rather be
The moonlight on the snow just sets me thinking
'Bout the way your smile shines upon your face
And I know this ain't the last beer I'll be drinking
Before I reach my final resting place
Oh, I wish that I was in your arms a-sleeping
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made
But I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight
Wishing I was in your arms again
Instrumental: (Banjo and Fiddle Break)
Oh, my wheels are running hard against this mountain
I finally crossed the Archuleta line
Another hour and I'll be with my darling
To dry those lonesome tears that she's been crying
But I wish that I was in your arms a-sleeping
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made
But I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight
Wishing I was in your arms again
I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight
Those truckers they all flash their lights at me
This highway ain't the very best companion
'Cause I know there's somewhere else I'd rather be
Oh, I wish that I was in your arms a-sleeping
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made
But I'm running down this mountain pass at midnight
Wishing I was in your arms again
I am running down this mountain pass at midnight
