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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
