"Angel Of Goulburn Hill" lyrics

Well, I picked up my load, hit the road on the southbound highway
For once in my life I got the feelin' that luck was all my way
I got a clear run ahead of me still
And a load that'll pay me some bills
And I know my angel's waitin' on Goulburn Hill

'Bout a year ago I was flyin' down Goulburn Hill
Floatin' out around an old Kenworth, just for the thrill
And the load beneath the old tarp
Was high as my bank overdraft
When the brakes, they started to fade on Goulburn Hill

Well, I don't mind sayin' I nearly went out of my mind
I went cold all over as the speedo started to climb
You've heard of floatin' in angel gear
Well, there's no place for doin' it here
With a bend and a bridge at the bottom of Goulburn Hill

I was callin' myself all kinds of a one-eyed lair
Tryin' gears, steerin' and pumpin', and sayin' my prayers
When the posts were just a white blur
Well, that's the moment I first saw her
They say she's called the Angel of Goulburn Hill

She was there in the cab and I don't know how she got there
She put her hand on the wheel and said, Try the brakes just once more
There's no rhyme nor reason to show
Why the old girl suddenly slowed
But that's how it happened that night on Goulburn Hill

Now, don't think I'm the only one who's ever seen her
And don't mention angel gear to me, 'cause I've been there
I got a new paint job on this truck
And I hope it brings me good luck
But the name on the door is The Angel of Goulburn Hill
Oh, the name on the door is The Angel of Goulburn Hill
