Trucks Tarps And Trailers |
I leaned against the bullbar, and gave the lights a rub |
Next week another driver, will guide you through the scrub |
My final run just ended, way down I feel the blow |
Trucks and tarps and trailers, the only life I know |
Next week I’ll get the pension, but that wont compensate |
That feeling of contentent, when the trucks all congregate |
Oh I’ll miss the miles of freedom, and all the transport crew |
Trucks and tarps and trailers, bring old memories new |
The road your tyres rejected, I curse to let off steam |
Now suddenly looks a highway, oh they do in truckies dreams |
And I’ll miss the roadside breather, truckies meal and smoke |
Good old outback welcomes, from friendly station folk. |
Instrumental |
Between bullbar and bogeys, their power pulses through |
From a Cummins diesel motor, black smoke fades to blue |
That big old spacious cabin, and dials that told me most |
Trucks and tarps and trailers, haunt me like a ghost |
Reflecting on those long runs, out near sundowns door |
Becomes for me a milestone, for I know there’ll be no more |
But I’ll find it hard adjustin', old habits hard to shake |
Trucks and tarps and trailers, for our reputations sake |
Instrumental |
Yeah shes all yours now young feller, shake hands and wish you luck |
Theres trucks and trailers equal, but none surpass this truck |
And you’ll learn her moods and fancies, hauling out back freight |
Today I’ve learned the feeling, what it’s like to lose a mate |
