Road Train Blues

   C                  Am          
Another day is dawning out on the 
      C                   Am
lonely plains,
C                  Am            
Here am I a'drovin' on the big 
      G           G
beef train.
C                        Am      
Drivers there before me, some 
   C                          Am
behind me, too,
C                     Am         
Just like me I know they've got 
                      G      G7  
the road train blues.
C            C


[Chorus]
       C                         
You drive all night and listen to 
   C                  C           C
the engine groan,
         F                    F   
With lots of time to think about 
                     F             
the folks back home,
   F

       C                     Am
I've always been a wanderer, had 
            C                      
these ramblin' shoes,
        Am

C                          Am    
Guess that I was born to know the
                    G      G7   C
 road train blues.

[Verse 2]
     C                        
I’d better stop and get out, a 
Am          C                    
careful check to make,
     Am

  C                            
I hope there's nothing going or 
     Am           G          G
about to break.
     C                    Am    C
No time to boil a billie, got no 
                     Am
time to lose,
C                   Am           
Gotta keep a rollin' with my road
         G     G7    C          C
 train blues.

[Verse 3]
   C                 Am       C  
I'll bet in every wagon, there's 
                               Am
a beast that's down,
           C                      
You've got to get him on his feet 
Am                    G           G
and turned around.
      C                          
You sweat and curse and struggle, 
       Am                 C       
get knocked about and bruised,
                       Am

        C                          
Your temper's getting shorter with 
Am                      G      
the road train blues.
G7   C        C

[Verse 4]
        C                        
Your eyes are nearly blinded by 
Am       C                     Am
the red bulldust,
  C                            
I hope there's nothing going or 
     Am          G          G
about to bust.
C                    Am         
Tourist buses passing, on a 
C                    Am
pleasure cruise,
        C                      
They wave and seem to mock your

rollin' road train blues.
