[Verse 1]
Light there is golden in the evenin'
Blue shadows forty feet and more
When night comes rushin' fast 'cross the flatland you'll see
Lonely girls linger by the door
Lonely girls linger by the door

[Verse 2]
Linger and listen by the doorway
Lookin' down along the fence post line
To the highway beyond where the headlights roll on
Followed by a low diesel whine
Followed by a low diesel whine

[Verse 3]
Diesels' siren song of the prairiеs
Has a strong pull that never lets go
Diеsels sing of bright spots with colours running wild
Follow me where the evenings overflow
Follow me where the evenings overflow

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Light there is golden in the evenin'
Blue shadows forty feet and more
When night comes rushin' fast 'cross the flatland you'll see
Lonely girls linger by the door
Lonely girls linger by the door
[Outro]
Linger and listen by the doorway
Lookin' down along the fence post line
To the highway
