Roaring through the Night

Lyrics

Rollin' and roarin' through the night My world is just a beam of silver light This ol' rig's my only friend till I reach my journey's end As I'm rollin' and roarin' through the night Rollin' down the coast of northern Queensland There's a bad depression out to sea, they say Near the end of January, headin' into February I feel I've got a cyclone on my tail I guess that I was born to burn the highway It's the closest thing to freedom that I feel I've got this big long load, and I see that ol' black road Disappearin' underneath my wheels As I'm rollin' and roarin' through the night My world is just a beam of silver light This ol' rig's my only friend till I reach my journey's end As I'm rollin' and roarin' through the night Let's roll Old Highway Number One, this country's lifeline Our big rigs are the ships from overland When we're flyin' through the gears, we really catch the breeze Sailin' this ol' country 'round and 'round On the homeward run, I'm really flyin' We're a work-team, this diesel Mack and I We've never thrown the towel in, I hear that bulldog growlin' We're pumpin' diesel smoke into the sky As we're rollin' and roarin' through the night My world is just a beam of silver light This ol' rig's my only friend till I reach my journey's end As I'm rollin' and roarin' through the night As I'm rollin' and roarin' through the night
