Now the suns gone down in this little town
And the stars are shining bright
I've got to drive this old rig
All the way home tonight
I'm up about five and I'm working all day
Knocking off work about seven or eight
The boys at the depo well they all say
Someday I'm gonna pay driv'n all that way

Chorus

And as my eyes grow heavy
And my arms feel weak
I've got to make it to yerong creek
Through to henty and onto culcairn
Then home to you baby that's my plan

And as I open my eyes and I realize
I've been sleep'n for the very last time
I pull on the wheel and I tried to remain
In control of the vehicle as I'm goin insane
There's country playing on the radio
While the truck is now spinning out of control
Look'n at a tree think'n of my dear
This could mean the end is very near

Chorus

As I hear the crash and I feel the pound
Of ten tonne of steel hitting the ground
My head starts to hurt and my blood begins to rush
Oh yeah
As I feel the pain and I begin to fuss

Chorus

Then home to you baby that's my plan
