[Intro] G A D G A D [Verse 1]
D                             G
    6 am and I’m just leaving Sydney,

D                                G
    Bound for somewhere north of Cairns.

          D                               G
    So I,   check out my tape deck and my radio,

E                                 A7
    They’ve often been my closest friends.
[Verse 2]
D                                 G
    First stop’s the old familiar weight bridge,

D                                   G
    and this time I’m sure it’ll be alright.

          D                            G
    So I,   fill out my time and declaration,

E                                    A7
    Gotta keep moving, my schedule's tight.
[Chorus 1]
G              A7              D
    This is my life out on the road,

            G                 A7              D
    I don’t care too much for cities or their code.

G             A7     D             G
    I drive a truck,   an old lady luck,

                       A7            D
    somehow, it’s been looking after me.

G              A7              D
    This is my life behind the wheel,

G                              A7             D
    I don’t care too much for cities or their feel.

G             A7      D            G
    I drive a truck,   an old lady luck,

                      A7           D
    So far, it’s been very good to me.
[Instrumental] G A D G A D [Verse 3]
D                         G
   Picked a hiker in Bulahdelah,

D                                  G
   Said he had no special place to go.

D                           G
   Told me a tale about his lady,

E                               A7
  running off with a rep called Joe.
[Verse 4]
D                                 G
  Let him out just north of Coolangatta,

           D                             G
  Where I,   had to take a pitstop and a break.

D                              G
  Filling out my log outside a roadhouse,

E                      A7
  I could hardly keep awake.
[Chorus 2]
G              A7              D
    This is my life out on the road,

            G             A7                  D
    I don’t care too much for cities or their code.

G             A7     D             G
    I drive a truck,   an old lady luck,

                  A7               D
    So far’s been ridin’ long with me

G              A7              D
    This is my life behind the wheel,

            G                  A7           D
    I don’t care too much for cities or the feel.

G             A7         D              G
    I drive a truck, hey,   an old lady luck,

                 A7              D
    has kept her watchful eye on me.

             G                A7              D    G    A    D
    Yes, somehow has kept her watchful eye on me.
