Under the Spell of Highway One
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Slippin' under the spell of Highway One
