Slim Dusty - From Here To There And Back lyrics

A truckies reputation Is anything but good But we'd never see you stranded We'd do the best we could Yeah we push 'em through the cities From coast to coast and back We drive the mighty semi's The Volvo and the Mack Oh it may not be the brightest one This job we have to do But still there must be someone To get the semi's through Here we take them through the country We push 'em constantly We drive the mighty semi's The Merc and BMC Oh the miles are long and many And the comforts short and few But the wheels are kept a-rollin' To get the cargo through Oh we shove 'em o'er the desert We do the best we can We drive the mighty semi's The Leyland and the Man The thankless miles are many That we steep behind the wheel But a cap nap in the cabin Will straighten out the keal Oh we push 'em on regardless We roll 'em day and night We drive the mighty semi's The Transtar and the White Instrumental Oh the purring of the Jimmies Three hundred horses strong Makes the mighty Kenworth Move the load along Oh we push 'em 'cross the country To get from here to there With the boys that drive the semi's From here to ”lord knows where” The heavy rig beneath us We handle, no mistake No matter what condition No matter what the make Hey we tail them through the hardships And every western track We're the boys that drive the semi's From here to there and back
