Star Trucker by Slim Dusty
Star Trucker lyrics
Well now you see that feller in the Louieville
He's got a mighty fine opinion of his drivin� skills
Give him half a chance and he�ll bash your ear
Tell you how good he is!!
He can drive all night and he can drive day
And still be on the ball or so he�ll say
But I can share a little yarn about his claim to fame
He�d rather not talk about.
It was on the Newell highway in July last year
Somewhere after midnight it was cold but clear
I see this big rig parked in the middle of the road
Lit up like a Christmas tree!!
Well you can well imagine I expected the worst
So I thought I'd take a look in the cabin first
Then I see you know who by the side of the road
Standin� there starin� at the stars and yellin�
�Beam me up Scotty im�a ready to ride
To take my place at the helm of the Enterprise
And boldly go through those starry skies
Hey I've proved my worth down here on earth
I'm a star trucker, star trucker
And it's time for me to go interplanetary
I'm a star, star trucker �
[Guitar Solo]
I gotta tell you boys it took me by surprise
To see the crazy look in that poor blokes eyes
And when he sees me comin� he starts to scream
�Klingons off the starboard bow�
Then I have this flash on how to make it work
I said �Son, it's not the Klingons, it's Captain Kirk�
He says �Sorry Captain it's been a hell of a day�
And I just, can't, push, it any harder.
So beam me up Scotty im�a ready to ride,
To take my place at the helm of the Enterprise,
And boldly go through those starry skies
Hey I've proved my worth down here on earth
I'm a star trucker, star trucker,
And it's time for me to go interplanetary,
I'm a star, star trucker
Star, star trucker. Yeah!
