Sittin' On 80(Remastered)

I leaned against the bullbar

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

That won't 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

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

Yeah she's 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
