Long Hot Night Lyrics - Untold Truths - Kevin Costner & Modern West

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

This is a really catchy song, I love it as I do all of Modern West's music but I find it to be a bit cryptic, not sure of the obvious back story that goes with… See all 

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
