[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 schedules 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 field.
G             A7      D            G
    I drive a truck,   an old lady luck,
                      A7           D
    So far, it’s been very good to me.

[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 the 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 fields.
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
    Yes, somehow has kept her watchful eye on me.
