Rollin' and roarin' through the night
My world is just a beam of silver light
This ol' rig's my only friend till I reach my journey's end
As I'm rollin' and roarin' through the night
Rollin' down the coast of northern Queensland
There's a bad depression out to sea, they say
Near the end of January, headin' into February
I feel I've got a cyclone on my tail
I guess that I was born to burn the highway
It's the closest thing to freedom that I feel
I've got this big long load, and I see that ol' black road
Disappearin' underneath my wheels
As I'm rollin' and roarin' through the night
My world is just a beam of silver light
This ol' rig's my only friend till I reach my journey's end
As I'm rollin' and roarin' through the night
Let's roll
Old Highway Number One, this country's lifeline
Our big rigs are the ships from overland
When we're flyin' through the gears, we really catch the breeze
Sailin' this ol' country 'round and 'round
On the homeward run, I'm really flyin'
We're a work-team, this diesel Mack and I
We've never thrown the towel in, I hear that bulldog growlin'
We're pumpin' diesel smoke into the sky
As we're rollin' and roarin' through the night
My world is just a beam of silver light
This ol' rig's my only friend till I reach my journey's end
As I'm rollin' and roarin' through the night
As I'm rollin' and roarin' through the night
