[Intro] N.C. Let her roll.
G
   Yeah I've got this big mack rollin' now!
[Verse]
     G                                                   C
I've got this big Mack rollin', she's screaming down the line

                    G                                 D
I see the guidepost clickin by, I'm a truckie pushing time

        G                                            C
There's black tar down beneath me and a blue sky overhead

    D                                                         G
And while there's one more load to move, I'm pushing till I'm dead
[Chorus]
      C                                  G
We’re rolling and we're pushing from the gulf down to the bight

     C                                               D
from Perth across to Sydney, the trucks roll day and night

         C                              G
Ooo, the logbook may be out of date but hell that ain't a crime

   D                                                           F             C             G
We dodge the weights and measure boys and we’re always pushing time, pushin' time, pushin' time.
[Verse]
  G                                              C
I may have general cargo or a load of prime gulf beef

                  G                                  D
A swag of kegs of southern beer to bring some down relief

     G                                              C
I'll haul in tonnes of minin' gear to open some new mine

       D                                           G
But no matter what I carry you can bet I’m pushing time.
[Chorus]
      C                                  G
We’re rolling and we're pushing from the gulf down to the bight

     C                                               D
from Perth across to Sydney, the trucks roll day and night

         C                              G
Ooo, the logbook may be out of date but hell that ain't a crime

   D                                                           F             C             G
We dodge the weights and measure boys and we’re always pushing time, pushin' time, pushin' time.
[Verse]
       G                                                  C
If you see this big rig coming you can bet she's tracking wide

                     G                        D
You’d better move it over and give us room to ride

     G                                               C
I've logged a million miles or two and maybe past my prime

        D
But I'm still a wizard at the wheel when I'm pushin' time.
[Chorus]
      C                                  G
We’re rolling and we're pushing from the gulf down to the bight

     C                                               D
from Perth across to Sydney, the trucks roll day and night

         C                              G
Ooo, the logbook may be out of date but hell that ain't a crime

   D                                                           F             C                G
We dodge the weights and measure boys and we’re always pushing time, pushin' time, oh pushin' time.
[Outro]
G
Pushing time. Dodge the weights and measure boys, yeah dodge those scalie men. Pushing time. Pushing time.
