Adam Brand - King Of the Road lyrics

Joey lived a mile out a Southern Cross Working on trucks for the local pit boss Friday nights when he'd come to town They'd all line up to see him lay some Rubber down Joey had a ute built in '74 With a 350 Chevy and 4 on the floor Chrome wire wheels and customized back He could run the main street ¼ mile in under 10 flat Cause he's the king of the road out here He's won four big Ford's and an old John Deer He won the summer nationals twice He's the king of the road out here on Friday nights Was a summer's night and I remember it well A city boy thought he had a story to tell He had a turbo charged flash in the pan He walked up to Joey and said hey I hear you're the man The whole town was there it was quite a scene It was the biggest race there ever had been That little car looked pretty in red Now Joey's gran is driving it instead You might have Brocky in the city spotlight But you ain't ever seen Joey on a Friday night Folks come a running from miles around Just to see our Joey laying rubber down
