One Truckie's Epitaph

My Dad drove a rig on the northcoast run,
and 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 S. D,
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 id drop a line, to tell your dad,
about all the tapes and records he had,
cause he wont be around anymore to meet the old S. D…
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,
oh yes and lights on the hill,
was one truckies epitaph…
