歌曲名 One Truckie's Epitaph

歌手名 Slim Dusty/The Travelling Country Band

作曲：Joy McKean

Dad drove a rig on the northcoast run

We'd go along for a ride me and mum

But most of the time we were home just awaitn' for dad

He'd pull in the yard make the engine roar

Blast the horn as he slammed the door

And we'd hear that old country music turned up loud

When he first heard the song about lights on the hill

He played it non stop and he loved it still

He told me it happens on the highway all of the time

He said if ever I run into the old SD

I'm gunna tell him a few things that's happened to me

Cause there might be song in this old life of mine

So I thought I'd drop a line to tell your dad

About all the tapes and records he had

Cause he won't be around anymore to meet the old SD

When they pulled him from the wreck by the river side

Lights on the hill was playin' when he died

That song was the one that he heard the last

You would never believe it could happen to you

But thats the one time it really came true

And lights on the hill

Was one truckies epitaph

So I thought I'd drop a line to tell your dad

About all the tapes and records he had

Cause he won't be around anymore to meet the old SD

When they pulled him from the wreck by the river side

Lights on the hill was playin' when he died

That song was the one that he heard the last

You would never believe it could happen to you

But thats the one time it really came true

And lights on the hill

Was one truckies epitaph

Yes and lights on the hill

Was one truckies epitaph
