[Intro] D [Verse]
          D              A7
There's a big red roo on the road ahead

      G                                     D
If he don't jump soon I'd say he's gonna be dead

                       A7
I'm not mean you gotta understand

              G                                     D
But if you're on my road you take your life in your hands
[Verse]
             D                A7
There's some louts in a car a few miles back

G                                D
Trying to recover from a heart attack

                               A7
They're all Jack Brabhams well that's just tough

                    G                                     D
'Cause when they're on my road they’re gonna learn to eat dust.
[Chorus]
G
On my road I'm a king you see

                                 D
With a rig this big there's no democracy

                             A7
And if you want to argue the point with me

      A7
You'd better have nerves of steel

A7
500 horses and a hundred ton load

                              N.C.            D
'Cause without all that mate,     you're on my road
[Verse]
           D                   A7
There's an old sugar daddy who won't let me pass

   G                                           D
In front of his doll I'd say he's tryin' to be smart

                              A7
I'll move a little closer and sit on his tail

               G                                   D
'Cause if he's on my road I'll put the wind up his sails
[Chorus]
G
On my road I'm a king you see

                                 D
With a rig this big there's no democracy

                             A7
And if you want to argue the point with me

      A7
You'd better have nerves of steel

A7
500 horses and a hundred ton load

                              N.C.           D
'Cause without all that hey,     you're on my road. Too right.
[Instrumental] G G D D A7 D [Verse]
        D                 A7
Now the boys in blue just turn a blind eye

G                                   D
Pretending they're busy when I roll by

                  A7
We got this understanding you see

                  G                                     D
cause when you’re on my road you take their orders from me
[Chorus]

On my road I'm a king you see

                                 D
