Boomaroo Flyer |
I run a large truck mister |
And I live in Echuca and every Friday night |
I have to run it down to Melbourne |
I start out in Numurkah, I make Shepparton by the fadin' light |
I get another load at Seymour, then I’m hittin' Kalkallo? |
I’m in Cambellfield about midnight |
And on the side of my truck it says |
Boomaroo Flyer |
When you ride in this truck |
You don’t ride any higher |
And everyone along the road |
Know’s the Boomaroo Flyer |
When I’m on my run |
I get a lot of time for thinking |
Like where’s this truck taking me to |
I think of rollin' on this road when |
I’m run down an' old |
And all the other things I wanna do |
But when I see that big candle from my cabin window |
I can smile cause I’m heading home to you |
And on the side of my truck it says |
Boomaroo Flyer |
When you ride in this truck |
You don’t ride any higher |
And everyone along the road |
Know’s the Boomaroo Flyer, (hey) |
I was out one night |
It was late on a Sunday |
And a young man steps out and flags me down |
He was all of fourteen |
His father had been drinkin, he was hell bent |
On gettin' outta town |
By the time he cooled off |
We’d put some miles behind us |
But eventually we turned that truck around |
And on the side of my truck it says |
Boomaroo Flyer |
When you ride in this truck |
You don’t ride any higher |
And everyone along the road |
Know’s the Boomaroo Flyer |
Yes the Boomaroo Flyer |
