I got this big rig rollin' down Highway One,
Heading South from the Northern Queensland sun.
I got a woman playing on my mind,
I'm in a mess and there's just no time
to think about things and the way in might of been.
The white line cast fits deadly spell on me,
I need some strong black coffee and a bight to eat.
Been on the road since late last week,
I really need a good night sleep,
And maybe I'll begin to understand.
Slippin' under the spell of the Highway,
I feel I'm gonna go under,
I feel like a man who's on the run.
Slippin' under the spell of the Highway,
My heart is beating like thunder,
Slippin' under the spell of Highway One.
Been pushing this old rig more than I should,
I'd give the game away if only I could.
I've got a king sized overdraft,
And a woman who haunts me from the past,
And I'm beginning to wonder if it's all worthwhile.
Gotta get this load in right on time,
I can't afford to loose this contract of mine.
I'm praying this old rig will last,
I'm loosing concentration fast,
And if tomorrow ever comes it won't be too late.
Slippin' under the spell of the Highway,
I feel I'm gonna go under,
I feel like a man who's on the run.
Slippin' under the spell of the Highway,
My heart is beating like thunder,
Slippin' under the spell of Highway One.

Slippin' under the spell of Highway One.
