歌曲:TRUCKS ON THE TRACK[00:00:00]
Said the old working bullock to the draught horses mate[00:00:07]
The yokes, chains and swingbars have gone out of date.[00:00:11]
Just look at the dust clouds and smoke trailing back[00:00:15]
Where once we pulled wagons, there's trucks on the track.[00:00:19]
Trucks on the track.[00:00:24]
There's seldom a bush road that's not felt the trail,[00:00:27]
Of some big prime mover that leave us for dead.[00:00:31]
Stiff shouldered and foot-sore our chains never slack[00:00:35]
And our ticket for freedom, those trucks on the track.[00:00:40]
Those broad smiling faces of the gear pushing men,[00:00:45]
Is the trade mark of truckies that I recall when.[00:00:48]
The face of the teamster turned purple and black.[00:00:53]
With rage but he'd welcome these trucks on the track.[00:00:58]
The draught horse replied as he shook his old mane,[00:01:03]
Those days I've no yearning to see them again.[00:01:07]
Old whips made of green hide that stung ribs and back,[00:01:11]
Hang idle because of those trucks on the track.[00:01:16]
Trucks on the track.[00:01:20]
Instrumental[00:01:23]
So just let us nibble this young tender grass.[00:01:36]
We're both pensioned off and are silver and brass.[00:01:40]
Way back though the ages a man hunt his pack,[00:01:44]
Now they haul half the World those trucks on the track.[00:01:49]
So spray out the bull dust the trucks must get through.[00:01:54]
There's someone out back mate 'pending on you.[00:01:58]
A yard of prime cattle, or a wool clip to stack.[00:02:02]
The kings of the road, those trucks on the track.[00:02:07]
Trucks on the track.[00:02:11]
So just let us nibble this young tender grass.[00:02:14]
We're both pensioned off and are silver and brass.[00:02:20]
Way back though the ages a man hunt his pack,[00:02:24]
Now they haul half the World those trucks on the track.[00:02:29]
So spray out the bull dust the trucks must get through.[00:02:34]
There's someone out back mate 'pending on you.[00:02:38]
A yard of prime cattle, or a wool clip to stack.[00:02:42]
The kings of the road, those trucks on the track[00:02:47]
