Give Me The Road(Remaster 1996) - Slim Dusty

作曲：Slim Dusty/Kelvin Dixon

The lights of town I will leave behind

With a tug on the klaxon chain

Give me a mack and a decent load

And turn me loose on the Darwin road

Let me roll those wheels again

Just give me a long straight stretch of tar

And give me a load of freight

With a manifest all sealed

and stamped

For some place south where

I've often camped

Then clear me through this gate

Then clear me through this gate

Give me a mack and I'll 'cross that line

Where the Murray waters flow

Give me two or three days and I'll be back

To the heat and dust of the top end track

Way out where the road trains go

This bulldog mascot beckons me

And I can't ignore his call

So give me a long straight stretch of tar

Hey watch out there mate in your shiny car

For the fastest rig of them all

For the fastest rig of them all

Let me wind her up let me hear that song

That a high speed diesel makes

Check that chain while I stow my gear

And write my book while I toss some air

To release those trailer brakes

So open the gates of this line haul yard

When you hear those airbrakes sigh

Guide me into the left hand lane

Tell that office girl I'll be gone again

And Melbourne town goodbye

And Melbourne town goodbye

Watch me steer for the western sun

And aim for the end of the tar

Where the black soil

starts and the bull dust flys

Give me country roads

and give me country skies

I'll be better off by far

I'll be better off by far
