I'd like to know what do you think is the word in Tonight I'll Be
Staying... (Live 1975 version), the fourth verse/line two.

Daniel Martin's "It's not a house, it's a home" page has the following
suggestion (the word is in capital letters here):

I can hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
I hear them SEMIS rollin' too
If there's a driver on the road
Got to let him have my load
'Cause tonight I'll be stayin' here with you.

"Semis" sounds strange, because the lyrics don't refer to the Roman
Times in any other way... When I listen the line, the "semis" word
sounds a little like "same eyes". But can it really be "I HEAR the
same eyes..."

Any suggestions?

He is singing semi's which is an abbreviation of semi-truck.

Yes of course...

I hope this reminds the readers of the old wisdom "there are no stupid
questions, only stupid answars", only that in this case the answer
wasn't the stupid one.
