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.
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 risinâ of the moon,
My womanâs waitinâ there just to make it worthwhile,
By the time the dust settles Iâll be livinâ 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.
