Overnight Rider

I left California crossed through Arizona

And the desert of New Mexico

Up through Colorado through the mountain shadows

With Denver on the radio

Out of Kansas City heading for St. Louis

Crossed the Mississippi today

I got tickets in my pocket

From flying like a rocket clear across the USA

Hear the wheels a hummin'

Baby I'm coming home

All I see is your face

Dancing in the headlights glow

I'm an overnight rider

Burining up the miles that are keeping us apart

I'm an overnight rider

Rolling down the highway to your heart

Halfway through Kentucky

Thought that I got lucky found someone to help me drive

She wake me in Atlanta said I'm home now thank you

Mister you're a heck of a guy

Crossed the Carolina's trying to make the time up

Smoking up ninety five

From Richmond to Philly the trip nearly killed me

Now I see the New York City lights
