There's rain on the road and I can feel the load start a-shiftin' I-i-in a dance Too late, I see the post and I haven't got a ghost of a chance Ah-hah-hah-no The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time The song they sing is a part of my mind And I can't believe it's a-really happenin' to me Oh, but I'm over the edge and down the mountain side I know they'll tell about the night I died In the rain when the lights on the hi-ill were a-blindin' me Slim Dusty, AO MBE (born David Gordon Kirkpatrick; 13 June 1927 – 19 September 2003) was an Australian country music singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer. He was an Australian cultural icon and one of the country's most awarded stars, with a career spanning nearly seven decades and numerous recordings. He was known to record songs in the legacy of Australia, particularly of bush life and renowned Australian bush poets Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson that represented the lifestyle. The music genre was coined the "bush ballad", a style first made popular by Buddy Williams, the first artist to perform the genre in Australia, and also for his many trucking songs. Dusty was the first Australian to have a No. 1 international hit song, with a version of Gordon Parsons' "A Pub with No Beer". He received an unequalled 37 Golden Guitar and two Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards and was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and the Country Music Roll of Renown
