Flowers bloom on diesel fumes in my ol' family tree I always knew that drivin' trucks would be my destiny My oldest livin' memory stretches way back through the years Sittin' on my mother's knee while dad shifts through the gears The company was second generation, built on sweat Granddad he was six foot two and eight stone ringin' wet A tough man, hard and honest, never lied they say But the business started boomin' the day granddad passed away Sydney, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide Got a lovely wife with a lonely life and children heaven made Running way behind and I can feel that shifting load But I'm taking care of business just rolling down the road Well dad and Uncle Charlie tried their best for many years But taking care of business takes more than shifting gears It broke my heart to watch those men livin' with the shame Of drivin' someone else's rig with someone else's name Truckin' life's my legacy, though business ain't the same Up to my years, I call her mine and she still wears my name Gettin' closer every day with each and every run Rememberin' Granddad's words: "Boy, I started out with one." Looking down the long white lines reflecting back at me Need to reach my destination, gotta stay awake to see Wrestlin' with the memories, wrestlin' with the loads Still takin' care of business, rolling down the road (Hey!) Sydney, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide My mind goes back down the track It never seems to fade And I'm still shiftin' through the gears everywhere I go Hey I'm takin' care of business, rolling down the road (Hey!) Hey I'm takin' care of business, rolling down the road
