Another 45 Miles (G. Kooymans) 1969 single

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, gotta 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 the sunlight was burning in my eyes, instead of chase black faces of the skies
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 they can’t go on
I mend my pace ‘cause my bride is waiting home
Here comes the night, I’m scared to death, gotta 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 the sunlight was burning in my eyes, instead of chase black faces of the skies
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

Another 45 miles to go, another 45 miles before I’m home
I wish the sunlight was burning in my eyes, instead of chase black faces of the skies
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
