I run a large truck mister

And I live in Echuca and every Friday night
     A augmentedA
I have to run it down to Melbourne

Like where’s this truck taking me to

                  E MajorE
And all the other things I wanna do
      B7B7             A augmentedA
But when I see that big candle from my cabin window
                   E MajorE
I can smile cause I'm heading home to you

E MajorE
I was out one night

It was late on a Sunday

And a young man steps out and flags me down
    A augmentedA
He was all of fourteen

His father had been drinkin, he was hell bent
         E MajorE
On gettin' outta town
    B7B7
By the time he cooled off
   A augmentedA
We’d put some miles behind us
                   E MajorE
But eventually we turned that truck around
