There's a freight train roaring through the dead of night   Heading straight for Yuma   I hear it every time it rolls through this town      It's one a.m. and I'm wide awake   Too hot for sleeping   Those wheels keep spinning 'round and 'round      Wheels keep spinning 'round and 'round   Me and that train covered lot of ground   I wish I may, I wish I might   It's gonna be another long hot night      Trucks are flying up and down I-10   I can hear them in the distance   Tired drivers trying to beat the heat      We used to drive with the headlights out   Moonlight on the highway   You were sleeping with your head in my lap      You were sleeping with your head in my lap   Life don't get much better than that   Hubcaps spinning in the light   It's gonna be another long hot night      How'd I let it get so wrong?   The days roll by but the nights drag on   Trying to find a way to get on track   But I'm spinning wheels, looking back   I'm just spinning wheels, looking back      Shots ring out in the middle of a dream   Car tires squealing   For a moment I wonder where I am      I'm right here in this little hot house   With no one beside me   I'm listening to the wobble of the ceiling fan      I'm listening to the wobble of the ceiling fan   I wish I were a better man   Gonna keep trying till I get it right   It's gonna be another long hot night      Long hot night, long hot night, long hot night
