slim dusty - we've been trucking too lyrics

Loading...

see the spray fly from the bogies, and the tarp ropes wet and tight
see the loads of wool from longreach rollin’ through the rain tonight
hey, dim those lights and move aside, and let ’em have the road
don’t make ’em hit those edges with their high and heavy load

pull over there just through the grid, and give those men a go
look––caringbah and reilly’s rig, and there’s one from bendigo
and let’s roll a smoke and rest awhile, and wave those trailers through
don’t make ’em leave the bitumen, for we’ve been truckin’ too

we’ve had step+tanks in the buckbush, and our sidelamps in the mud
when the dogwood creek’s a banker, and the condamine’s in flood
we’ve been caught in snow at guyra, with our fuel+oil chilled to glue
and we’ve sweated on the darwin run––yeah, we’ve been truckin’ too

we’ve been blinded by mug drivers with their out+of+focus lights
we’ve been in the water+tables when we’ve dozed on rainy nights
oh, we know what slippery shoulders on the tomo stretch can do
when you’re loaded high with wool, ’cause we’ve been truckin’ too

we’ve had breakdowns in the outback, with those bushfires everywhere
and those big scotch grey mosquitoes that would cause a saint to swear
we’ve had to dodge those scalies, we’ve used some lonely roads
to avoid those men in dustcoats who watch out for overloads

we’ve hauled loads for southern smarties, and we’ve waited “ninety days”
while they’ve sobbed out their excuses in a hundred different ways
yeah, we know what truckin’s all about, so wave those fellas through
and wish good luck on every truck, ’cause we’ve been truckin’ too
