5 A.M. Blues (1992 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty

Heavy load close to home

Halfway home and here I'm yawning

And almost out of smokes well just my luck

The old front spare's tired engine's slippin

Dirty windshield wipers hissing

I'm sick and tired of drivin' this old truck

Mist and fog in every hollow

White lines gettin' hard to follow

Was it only yesterday I left our yard

Riggers left and reves are falling

I'm bone tired and bed is calling

Yet to change that gear is gettin' kind a hard

Yes to change that gear is gettin' kind a hard

Camped a while near yarrawonga

Wish I'd slept a little longer

For bad enough this spot when things are right

Corners wet my trailer's drifting

Bet those outside wheels are lifting

I gotta watch those shoulders too tonight

Highway signs are shinin' yellow

Diesel roads smoke stakes bellow

And daylight finds me 'close to boggabri'

Soon that roadhouse at the border

T bone steak and eggs I'll order

I think I'll make it in then if I try

I think I'll make it in then if I try

Better stop and fill my page in

Just to stop that lawman ragin'

He books us drivers every chance he gets

Empty overalls and jacket

Empty dashboard where's that packet

Oh hell now seems I'm out of cigarettes

Mist and fog in every hollow

White lines gettin' hard to follow

Was it only yesterday I left our yard

Camped a while near yarrawonga

Wish I'd slept a little longer

For steerin' thru this fog is gettin' hard

Steerin' thru this fog is gettin' hard

Steerin' thru this fog is gettin' hard
