It's 4 a.m., and i'm a hundred miles from breakfast in wyomin'
i'm not complainin'
I got the radio on, playin' on a station from new orleans
an' now it's rainin'
I'm makin' time, tryin' ta keep it rollin'
and i'm all alone
[chorus]
windshield wipers in the rain
I hear that country-western music comin' at me, through the thunder
a flash of lightnin'
I hear the d.j., sayin' "here's a little tune for all you truckers.
"i hope you like it."
I'm gettin' tired; my eyes are feelin' sandy
when i'm alone
[chorus]
windshield wipers in the rain
I hear a freight train comin' down
i see the headlights flashin' 'round
i feel an earthquake in the ground
an' then he's gone
an' i'm alone
all alone
[chorus]
windshield wipers in the rain
I feel a cold wyomin' chill comin' on me in the mornin'
i need some welcome
I see a sign, says it's only fifty miles to where i'm going
and i hope it's open
I look around, wishin' you was with me
but i'm alone
[chorus]
windshield wipers in the rain
I see a distant neon sign
i turn the music way up high
i wipe the lonesome from my eyes
but i'm alone
[chorus]
windshield wipers in the rain
