(bill frieschip davis)

[a ghostly chorus]
Night rider

Wella-truckin’ on the night linequarter past five
Tryin’ to get my rig an’ me to ’frisco alive
Fog lights up tighta-givin’ me the creeps
Just a winnemucca trucka with a load a’ black sheep

[a ghostly chorus]
Night rider

I got a belly full a’ jelly and head full a’ pain
Bennies spinnin’ spider websa-messin’ my brain
Tryin’ ta get myself together with a shot a’ black c
What I really oughta get me is an hour a’ zs

[chorusbut not ghostly]
Night ridernight riderlosin’ your mind
Look at those lights ’til you think you’ve gone blind
Night ridernight riderlosin’ your mind
Look at those lights’til you’ve gone blind

Wellalabammy mammy got a spell on my life
Kansas city kitty cut my heart out tonight
I lost a c-note in reno off a’ keno and craps
And now smokey’s on the overpass a-settin’ his traps
White lines lasers burnin’ holes in my eyes
Feel like I’m hypnotizedthink I’m gonna die
Interstate 80gonna get me no sleep
Just a-winkin’ and a-blinkin’ with a stinkin’ load a’ sheep
