[Verse 1]
D G
6 am and I’m just leaving Sydney,
D G
Bound for somewhere north of cairns.
D G
So I, check out my tape deck and my radio,
E A7
They’ve often been my closest friends.
[Verse 2]
D G
First stop’s the old familiar weight bridge,
D G
and this time I’m sure it’ll be alright.
D G
So I, fill out my time and declaration,
E A7
Gotta keep moving, my schedules tight.
[Chorus 1]
G A7 D
This is my life out on the road,
G A7 D
I don’t care too much for cities or their code.
G A7 D G
I drive a truck, an old lady luck,
A7 D
somehow, it’s been looking after me.
G A7 D
This is my life behind the wheel,
G A7 D
I don’t care too much for cities or their field.
G A7 D G
I drive a truck, an old lady luck,
A7 D
So far, it’s been very good to me.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D G
Picked a hiker in Bulahdelah,
D G
Said he had no special place to go.
D G
Told me a tale about his lady,
E A7
running off with a rep called Joe.
[Verse 4]
D G
Let him out just north of Coolangatta,
D G
Where I, had to take a pitstop and a break.
D G
Filling out my log outside the roadhouse,
E A7
I could hardly keep awake.
[Chorus 2]
G A7 D
This is my life out on the road,
G A7 D
I don’t care too much for cities or their code.
G A7 D G
I drive a truck, an old lady luck,
A7 D
So far’s been ridin’ long with me
G A7 D
This is my life behind the wheel,
G A7 D
I don’t care too much for cities or the fields.
G A7 D G
I drive a truck, hey, an old lady luck,
A7 D
has kept her watchful eye on me.
G A7 D
Yes, somehow has kept her watchful eye on me.
