Forty Miles To Saturday Night |
Well I rubbed the dirt all down |
And I washed away six aching days |
And my shoes all slick and spit |
And my singlet fresh and my sideburns shaved |
As I turn from the mirror |
And I open my first beer since yesterday |
Danny brings the Bedford round |
A three-ton girl with a ten-foot tray |
And she knows the way to town |
So we kiss goodbye to two weeks' pay |
Now the leaves are shaking |
And the stars are all waking from the day |
Big wheel turning (turning all night) |
Big light burning (burning so bright) |
Downright foolish but that’s alright |
It’s only forty miles to Saturday night! |
There’s a place on Fortune Street |
And a band down there called Gunga Din |
And Joanne from Miner’s Creek |
She said that she’d be back again |
She lives out on the station |
And she works on my imagination |
Big wheel turning (turning all night) |
Big light burning (burning so bright) |
Downright foolish but that’s alright |
It’s only forty miles to Saturday night! |
