Book 25 Page 28

I’m a truckie

I’m a truckie,

My home is the road.

Drivin from dust till dawn,

with my big Lorie load.

Dressed up in me blue T-shirt,

covering me proud beer gut.

Yep! I reckon I’m a right old sight with me unshaven beard

and me scraggily hair cut.

And many think of me as a ‘man’s / man,’

But inside I’m really a ‘great big teddy bear.’

And I’ve traveled this country all over,

cause as they say, “I’ve been everywhere.”

Yep I drive the big rigs,

You’ve seen me sitting up there behind the wheel.

Boring down the road sitting right up your ass,

in me forty ton truck of steel.
