Well, I’m runnin’ down this mountain pass at midnight;
Those truckers, they all flash their lights at me
This highway ain’t the very best companion,
’cause I know there’s somewhere else I’d rather be

The moonlight on the snow just sets me thinking
’bout the way your smile shines upon your face
And I know this ain’t the last beer I’ll be drinking
Before I reach my final resting place
Oh, i

(chorus)

wish that I was in your arms a’ sleeping,
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made,
But I’m runnin’ down this mountain pass at midnight,
Wishin’ I was in your arms again

Oh my wheels are running hard against this mountain,
I finally crossed the archuleta line
Another hour and I’ll be with my darlin’
To dry those lonesome tears that she’s been cryin’

I’m runnin’ down this mountain pass at midnight;
Those truckers, they all flash their lights at me
This highway ain’t the very best companion,
’cause I know there’s somewhere else I’d rather be
Oh, i

(chorus)

I am runnin’ down this mountain pass at midnight,
Wishin’ I was in your arms again
