[Verse 1]
E
My Dad drove a rig on the north-coast run,And we'd go along for the ride, me and mum,
A E B But most of the time we were home just a-waitin' for dad. E He'd pull in the yard, make the engine roar,
Blast the horn as he slammed the door,
F# B7 And we'd hear that old country music turned up loud.
[Verse 2]
E
When he first heard the song about lights on the hill,He played it non stop and he loved it still,
A E B He told me it happens on the highway all of the time. E He said if ever I run into the old S.D,
I'm gonna tell him a few things that's happened to me,
F# B7 E Cause there might be a song in this old life of mine!
[Bridge]
B So I thought id drop a line, to tell your dad, E About all the tapes and records he had, F# B Cause he won't be around anymore to meet the old S.D.
[Chorus]
E
When they pulled him from the wreck by the riverside,Lights on the hill was playin' when he died,
A E B That song was the one that he heard the last. E You would never believe it could happen to you,
But that's the one time it really came true,
F# And lights on the hill, B E Was one truckies epitaph,
[Instrumental]
E A E B E F# B E
[Bridge]
B So I thought id drop a line, to tell your dad, E About all the tapes and records he had, F# B Cause he won't be around anymore to meet the old S.D.
[Chorus]
E
When they pulled him from the wreck by the riverside,Lights on the hill was playin' when he died,
A E B That song was the one that he heard the last. E You would never believe it could happen to you,
But that's the one time it really came true,
F# And lights on the hill, B E Was one truckies epitaph, F# Yeah, lights on the hill, B E Was one truckies epitaph
