I Don't Sleep At Night - Slim Dusty[00:00:01]
There's nothing can wipe out my fear of burnin'[00:00:06]
And that's why the trucks won't let me sleep at night[00:00:10]
My window overlooks the highway goin' out[00:00:20]
And the interstaters roll through every night[00:00:25]
I look out and see the semis down below me[00:00:31]
Grinding to a halt before the lights[00:00:37]
There's a bulldog Mack with old Bob in the cabin[00:00:42]
And I wonder what the next big rig will be[00:00:48]
Maybe old red Ned or even the Mary Kathleen[00:00:53]
And the next to roll I know should be me[00:00:59]
And I don't sleep at night because the trucks won't let me[00:01:04]
Wheels are rollin' thunder in my brain[00:01:10]
The bottle by my side keeps back the nightmares[00:01:16]
'Til the sound of diesels bring it back again[00:01:21]
And I still can see the flames on Razor Mountain[00:01:26]
Oh I smell the smoke and feel it blur my sight[00:01:32]
There's nothing can wipe out my fear of burnin'[00:01:38]
And that's why the trucks won't let me sleep at night[00:01:42]
No transport boss will take me on because they say[00:01:51]
I'm not the driver now I used to be[00:01:57]
They seem to think the bottle's really got me down[00:02:03]
Ah but put me in the cabin and they'll see[00:02:08]
And I'll bet my hands are steady as the next mans[00:02:14]
And I sometimes think there's diesel in my veins[00:02:19]
Oh whatever reason could there be from feelin'[00:02:24]
The way I do about the old four lanes[00:02:30]
But I don't sleep at night because the trucks won't let me[00:02:35]
Wheels are rollin' thunder in my brain[00:02:41]
The bottle by my side keeps back the nightmares[00:02:47]
'Til the sound of diesels bring it back again[00:02:52]
And I still can see the flames on Razor Mountain[00:02:57]
Oh I smell the smoke and feel it blur my sight[00:03:03]
There's nothing can wipe out my fear of burnin'[00:03:09]
And that's why the trucks won't let me sleep at night[00:03:13]
