Slim Dusty Highway Fever song lyrics

This old rig of mine is home sweet home to me,

And that's the way it'll always be,

With my big drivin' lights oh I'm pushin' through the nights,

Highway fever's got a hold on me.

Ah, there's always one more load and there's always one more road,

Leading me north or south my friend,

But I don't really care when I'm rollin' way out there,

'Cos I'm loaded and i'm rollin' again my friend.

There's been blood, sweat and tears for nigh on twenty years,

I've had my share of woman strife,

But I'm a rambling man that's what broke my weddin' band,

But I'll do my own thing with my life.

And this old rig of mine is home sweet home to me,

And that's the way it'll always be,

With my big drivin' lights I'm pushin' through the nights,

Highway fever's got a hold on me.

So many times before when I've been in the wars,

I've sworn each time I'd give it up,

Tried it once or twice but couldn't pay the price,

Of losin' my freedom of this old truck.

When my rig begins to roll and there's pride within my soul,

I'm king of all that I survey,

It's freedom that I feel when I'm here behind the wheel,

Rollin' rollin' this long highway.

And this old rig of mine is home sweet home to me,

And that's the way it'll always be,

With my big drivin' lights, I'm pushin' through the nights,

Highway fever's got a hold on me.

Highway fever's got a hold on me.
