Here comes the night
 A veil over the light
 In the distance some shadows of the clouds in the sky
 I've got to get home, to my child, my wife
 
 Here comes the night
 I'm scared to death, got to get me a ride
 It looks like the road is swallowing me up
 Gotta hurry home, don't dare to look back
 Blueville is straight ahead
 
 Another 45 miles to go
 Another 45 miles before I'm home
 I wish I could pay the sun to run
 Then I had some more time, with my wife, my son
 
 Clouds in the sky
 Gathering for a fight
 Chasing their prey till it can't go on
 I mend my pace 'cos my bride is waiting home
 
 Here comes the night
 I'm scared to death, got to get me a ride
 It looks like the road is swallowing me up
 Gotta hurry home, don't dare to look back
 Blueville is straight ahead
 
 Another 45 miles to go
 Another 45 miles before I'm home
 I wish I could pay the sun to run
 Then I had some more time, with my wife, my son
