Fill 'Er Up |
Sound of truck stopping |
Fill 'er up old mate, fill 'er up, |
While I duck inside and grab a cup, |
I’ll have some chips and a burger as well, |
I’ve made a lot of miles now it’s time for a spell. |
Check the water in the tanks are full, |
There’s a lotta long miles left to pull, |
The tyres nearly melten from the heat of the sun, |
But nothing bothers me, I’m on the homeward run. |
I should make it home on one more tank, |
Oh this loads as good as cash in the bank, |
I’ve done a long job now I’ve got back load, |
It’s the only damn way when you’re out on the road. |
Yeah. |
Fill 'er up old mate, fill 'er up, |
While I duck inside and grab a cup, |
I’ll have some chips and a burger as well, |
I’ve made a lot of miles now it’s time for a spell. |
Instrumental |
Thanks a lot old mate, see ya soon, |
I should be back home by the risin' of the moon, |
My woman’s waitin' there just to make it worthwhile, |
By the time the dust settles I’ll be livin' in style. |
I got some lollies and things for the kids, |
And some yarns about all the things I did, |
I’ll tell them some stories and tell some lies, |
Oh it does a man good to see the love in their eyes. |
Fill 'er up old mate, fill 'er up, |
While I duck inside and grab a cup, |
I’ll have some chips and a burger as well, |
I’ve made a lot of miles now it’s time for a spell. |
Fill 'er up old mate, fill 'er up, |
While I duck inside and grab a cup, |
I’ll have some chips and a burger as well, |
I’ve made a lot of miles now it’s time for a spell. |
