Now for years I've pushed the semis through the fire and dust and mud
Now I've got a keepin' rollin' mate for truckin's in my blood
Now it fairly tears me wide apart to hear you fellas cry
When you have to leave the bitumen or your petrol's runnin' dry
And maybe walk a mile or two to find a can of juice
Oh, your chromework's gettin' tarnished or your hubcap's comin' loose
I had a motor collapsed at Cohen and then got trapped at Bowen
By the scaleys at the roadside with a 10 ton loader load
I blew a tire at Scoresby, sank in the mire at Moresby
When the big wet came in early and washed away the road
Then I rolled a mack at...
Then I got the sack at Tyra
But tryin' to cross the Mooney, she was ten feet deep in flood
I did a diff at Rockvale, got frozen stiff at Stockdale
But I got a keepin' rollin' mate for truckin's in my blood
Now for years I've pushed the semis through the fire and dust and mud
Now I've got a keepin' rollin' mate for truckin's in my blood
Yeah
Now when your worries get you down and your petrol's goin' up
And your latest buggy makes you feel that you've been sold a pup
Give a thought to the poor old truckie with horizons for a home
His pulse, the throb of his motors beat
And the creed they called her own
Now I lost my load at Junder, then I left the road at Nunder
Well, I swerved to miss a hippie who was tryin' to thumb the ride
I ran off the range at Nebo, was feelin' strange at Bebo
From takin' yippy beans that kept my eyelids open wide
I had a brake line bust at Coomera, nearly died of thirst at Woomera
Sittin' by the road at...


Roadside with a busted axle stud
I had a windscreen smashed at Carra, nearly rolled the truck at Narra
But I gotta keepin' rollin' mate for truckin's in my blood
I've been hitched and ditched and tossed and lost
Clogged and bogged and thumped and bumped
Bitten, hit and shorn and worn and stopped and cocked
But as sure as you're born, mate, oh
Truckin's in my blood, yeah
Truckin's in my blood
Truckin's in my blood, yeah
Truckin's in my blood, oh that's right
Truckin's in my blood, yeah
Truckin's in my blood
