Driving the nightshift again Driving the nightshift again The times I’ve rolled this line, this same old Long headed East double lane Driving these nightshifted eyes Driving these nightshifted eyes To light my way from midnight out to Hay There’s big summer moon on the rise Puts me in a mind, of once upon a time A hall above the beach when I was young, it was Too many years, too far behind Old piano, saxophone and drum And hanging out over the sea That same summer moon laid for me
A road of light on out into the night A highway to where I could be If ever I can find that innocence of mind The wonder in that younger set of eyes I’ll get it on the road, the rhythm of the line The wheeling of the desert where it flies Come on roll up that line baby roll Light up these nightshifted eyes Speed my way from midnight out to Hay Big summer moon on the rise Speed my way from midnight out to Hay Big summer moon on the rise
