well, i'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight
those truckers they all flash their lights at me
this highway ain't the very best companion
'cause i know there's somewhere else i'd rather be
the moonlight on the snow just sets me thinking
'bout the way your smile shines upon your face
and i know this ain't the last beer i'll be drinking
before i reach my final resting place
oh, i...
[chorus:]
...wish that i was in your arms a'sleeping
dreaming of the sweet love we just made
but i'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight
wishin' i was in your arms again
oh my wheels are running hard against this mountain
i finally crossed the archuleta line
another hour and i'll be with my darlin'
to dry those lonesome tears that she's been cryin'
but i...
[chorus]
i'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight
those truckers they all flash their lights at me
well this highway ain't the very best companion
'cause i know there's somewhere else i'd rather be
oh, i...
[chorus]
i am runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight
wishin' i was in your arms again |
