[G] [C] He leans out [G] the [Am] window and waves to his mum [F] It's where all his birthdays [G] rolled into one
_ [C] As he's [Em] heading out [Am] on his maiden run [F] Up to the far north [G] of Queensland
_ [C] I tell [G] him the [Am] names of the truck stops and [Em] towns [F] The stretches and corners and where
[G] they'll be found [C] The stories [Em] and [Am] yarns I've picked up on my
rounds [F] And he listens with [G] wide open [Dm] eyes
[G] _
Cos [F] he's riding on [C] Dieseline Dream [F] Down a highway that runs [G] through his mind
Behind [F] the wheel of the biggest [C] rig he's [F] ever seen

up at me [F] Oh yeah, he's a truck [G] driver's son
[C] Given [G] the chance [Am] he'd be in my shoes [F] But right now he's primed and [G] afternoon snooze
[C] And though [G] he's [Am] determined to look out for roots [F] Oh the road finally [G] lulls him away
