Slim Dusty - Long Distance Driving lyrics

rate me

Well Ive gotta make it into Sydney markets tonight

Ive gotta be unloaded at Flemington before daylight

The Kennys polished up and my log books filled into go

Why on earth I took on long distance drivin, mate Ill never know

I pushed her into 1st gear let the clutch out and then Im away

The way the clutch is shuddering shes four tonne over Id say

I hate to think what will happen when we get to Marulan weighbridge

If they make me unload Ill be late and thats ridgy didge

Hey

Well Ive gotta make it into Sydney markets tonight

I gotta be unloaded at Flemington before daylight

My The Kennys polished up and my log books filled into go

Why on earth I took on long distance drivin, mate Ill never know hey

I got my ears on but Im sittin on the side I dont want to chat

I only use it emergency to ask where the blue lights are at

If I dont blow a tyre Ill be there in plenty of time

If I dont go crazy starin at this long white line, hey

Cause Ive gotta make it into Sydney markets tonight

Ive gotta be unloaded at Flemington before daylight

My The Kennys polished up and my log books filled into go

Oh why on earth I took on long distance drivin, mate Ill never know

Thats right

That bloke in the kombi, is drivin me right round the bend

Ill tailgate awhile he might let me around in the end

If he keeps slowin up its certain Ill do my block

If that happens mate hell be in for one hell of a shock, yeah

Well Ive gotta make it into Sydney markets tonight

Ive gotta be unloaded at Flemington before daylight

Hey the Kennys polished up and my log books filled into go

Why on earth I took on long distance drivin, mate Ill never know

Why on earth I took on long distance drivin, mate Ill never know

Hey!!
