No Good Truckin' Man

Slim Dusty

Now Billy was a truckin' man always movin' freight
His only love was on the road hauling interstate
He tried his best to settle down but nothin' went to plan
So Billy wore the handle of that no good truckin' man
Now Jenny was the kind of girl who liked to stay at home
And Billy was a ramblin' man always on the road
She knew he'd never change his ways that couldn't be her luck
His home was on the highway in the cabin of his truck
Yes Billy was a truckin' man always movin' freight
His only love was on the road hauling interstate
He tried his best to settle down but nothin' went to plan
So Billy wore the handle of that no good truckin' man hey!
Now Jenny grew despondent for she felt so all alone

And started seeing someone else when Billy wasn't home
His smooth sophisticated ways had won him Jenny's hand
But Jenny missed the lovin' of her no good truckin' man
Now Billy heard the rumour so he headed back one night
The strangers car was leaving in the early mornin' light
Oh what then really happened well there's all kinds of debates
But Billy swears until this day the old rig lost her brakes hey
Hey Billy was a truckin' man always movin' freight
His only love was on the road hauling interstate
He tried his best to settle down but nothin' went to plan
So Billy wore the handle of that no good truckin' man
Yes Billy wore the handle of that no good truckin' man
