There's a storm blowing off the mountain
                   
It's not a welcome sight
G                D                 Am
From a cigarette swag on a two dog night
Am                                         
I'm so tired of this droving the dirt and dust and heat
        F     C     Bb         Am     G                  
And I'm weary to my bones but I can't sleep

            Am       F                   C
It's a long night... staring at the fire light
       F    C                G
It's a long night... missing you
            Am       Em                     F
It's a long night... and the wind begins to bite
          Em     Am
Long..ong lonely night

Am          
Andy drives a road train he's been away a while
G                     D                 Am
But to make ends meet he's gotta make a mile
Am              
By morning if he drives all night he just might make it home
      F    C      Bb        Am  G        Am
Calls Mary on his satellite telephone... and he tells her

            Am       F                        C
It's a long night... staring at the dashboard light
       F    C                G
It's a long night... missing you
            Am       Em                     F
It's a long night... and the wind begins to bite
          Em     Am
Long..ong lonely night

Nurses are doing the night shift while a copper walks the beat
      F         C            Bb            Am         G          
Ohhhh I'm still crowding the fire trying to make some heat

            Am       F                   C
It's a long night... staring at the fire light
       F    C                G
It's a long night... missing you
            Am       Em                     F
It's such a long night... and the wind begins to bite
          Em     Am
Long..ong lonely night
