| Said the old working bullock to the draught horses mate
|
| The yokes, chains and swingbars have gone out of date
|
| Just look at the dust clouds and smoke trailing back
|
| Where once we pulled wagons, there’s trucks on the track
|
| Trucks on the track
|
| There’s seldom a bush road that’s not felt the trail
|
| Of some big prime mover that leave us for dead
|
| Stiff shouldered and foot-sore our chains never slack
|
| And our ticket for freedom, those trucks on the track
|
| Those broad smiling faces of the gear pushing men
|
| Is the trade mark of truckies that I recall when
|
| The face of the teamster turned purple and black
|
| With rage but he’d welcome these trucks on the track
|
| The draught horse replied as he shook his old mane
|
| Those days I’ve no yearning to see them again
|
| Old whips made of green hide that stung ribs and back
|
| Hang idle because of those trucks on the track
|
| Trucks on the track
|
| Instrumental
|
| So just let us nibble this young tender grass
|
| We’re both pensioned off and are silver and brass
|
| Way back though the ages a man hunt his pack
|
| Now they haul half the World those trucks on the track
|
| So spray out the bull dust the trucks must get through
|
| There’s someone out back mate 'pending on you
|
| A yard of prime cattle, or a wool clip to stack
|
| The kings of the road, those trucks on the track
|
| Trucks on the track
|
| So just let us nibble this young tender grass
|
| We’re both pensioned off and are silver and brass
|
| Way back though the ages a man hunt his pack
|
| Now they haul half the World those trucks on the track
|
| So spray out the bull dust the trucks must get through
|
| There’s someone out back mate 'pending on you
|
| A yard of prime cattle, or a wool clip to stack
|
| The kings of the road, those trucks on the track |
