Still Riding That Line

    G              C              
Its so hard now to try and make a 
G
buck,
                              D
Workin' seven days behind the wheel 
of your truck.
G                        C       
Listening to Slim as the hours 
    G
slip away,
As you clock up the miles along the 
D          G
Newell highway.

 G                           C  G
Another load of steel, about 26 ton,
From the Sunshine plant to Brisbane,
           D
 well he's makin' the run.
G                       C    G
Changin' blown tyres in 40 degrees,
Or spinnin' out on black ice just 
D        G
out of Moree.

            C     D           G
And they're still ridin' that line,
    C           D        G
And home may be so far behind.
            C          D           
But they're doing what they really 
Em    C
love,

                       D        
'Cause that diesel was brewed in 
       G
their blood.

G                    C            
My father Peter is a truck driver 
G
too,
                                D
And his father Cannonball, well, he 
had a few.
     G                       C    
They talked of giving up, of doing
       G
 other things,
                               D   
It cuts you to the core when a mate
               G
 dies in their rig.

            C     D           G
And they're still ridin' that line,
    C           D        G
And home may be so far behind.
            C          D           
But they're doing what they really 
Em    C
love,
                       D        
'Cause that diesel was brewed in 
       G
their blood.

        G                    C    
Now ol' Cannonball rides the 
         G
trails in the sky,
                    Em         
And like a guardian angel, he's 
 D           G
there by my side.

            C     D           G
And they're still ridin' that line,
    C           D        G
And home may be so far behind.
            C          D           
But they're doing what they really
