Lyrics Under The Spell Of Highway One - Slim Dusty

Under The Spell Of Highway One

I got this big rig rollin' down Highway One
Headin' south from the Northern Queensland sun
I got a woman playin' on my mind
I’m in a mess and there’s just no time
To think about things and the way it might have been
The white line cast its deadly spell on me
I need some strong black coffee and a bite to eat
Been on the road since late last week
I really need a good night’s sleep
And maybe I’ll begin to understand
Slippin' under the spell of the highway
I feel I’m gonna go under
I feel like a man who’s on the run
Slippin' under the spell of the highway
My heart is beatin' like thunder
Slippin' under the spell of Highway One
Been pushing this old rig more than I should
I’d give the game away if only I could
I’ve got a king sized overdraft and a woman who haunts me from the past
And I’m beginnin' to wonder if it’s all worthwhile
Gotta get this load in right on time
I can’t afford to lose this contract of mine
I’m praying this old rig will last
I’m losing concentration fast
And if tomorrow ever comes it won’t be too late
Slippin' under the spell of the highway
I feel I’m gonna go under
I feel like a man who’s on the run
Slippin' under the spell of the highway
My heart is beatin' like thunder
Slippin' under the spell of Highway One
Slippin' under the spell of the highway
I feel I’m gonna go under
I feel like a man who’s on the run
Slippin' under the spell of the highway
My heart is beatin' like thunder
Slippin' under the spell of Highway One
Slippin' under the spell of Highway One
