Dieseline Dreams |
| He leans out the window and waves to his Mum |
| You’d swear all his birthdays had rolled into one |
| ‘Cause he’s headin' out on his maiden run |
| Up to the far north of Queensland |
| I tell him the names of the truck stops and towns |
| The stretches and corners and where they’ll be found |
| The stories and yarns I’ve picked up on my rounds |
| And he listens with wide-open eyes |
| ‘Cause he’s riding on dieseline dreams |
| Down a highway that runs through his mind |
| Behind the wheel of the biggest rig he’s ever seen |
| Riding on dieseline dreams |
| His ears are glued to that cracklin' C. B |
| But he’s got that lingo down to a tee |
| And there’s pride in his eyes when he looks up at me |
| Oh yeah he’s a truck drivers' son |
| And given the chance he’d be in my shoes |
| But right now he’s primed for an afternoon snooze |
| Though he’s determined to look out for ‘roos |
| The road finally lulls him away |
| And he’s riding on dieseline dreams |
| Down a highway that runs through his mind |
| Behind the wheel of the biggest rig he’s ever seen |
| Riding on dieseline dreams |
| Instrumental |
| While my boy’s dozin' the memories flood in |
| And I’m back in the cabin with my Dad again |
| Tellin' myself how I’ll be just like him |
| It don’t seem all that long ago |
| Yet here’s my own son thinkin' the same |
| Itchin' to get himself into the game |
| He won’t understand when I try to explain |
| Son it’s not what it used to be |
| ‘Cause he’s riding on dieseline dreams |
| Down a highway that runs through his mind |
| Behind the wheel of the biggest rig he’s ever seen |
| Riding on dieseline dreams |
| Behind the wheel of the biggest rig he’s ever seen |
| Riding on dieseline dreams |
