Lyrics:
I'm a mechanised swaggie in a Kenworth T950
I haul big freight across the paddock to Perth
Me and my girl share the wheel and the berth
We can make it in 48 hours, from Sydney
I used to like hearing my dad tell of the depression
Lookin' for work and getting knocked back
Shouldered his swag and took to the track
Remembers each camp and every good cook on the stations
The times have changed old timer
The years have passed you by
Some things never alter at all
Let me tell you why
The dusty roads you tramped, are now all highways
The road camp now, a sleeper cab
The billy of tea, a quick coffee we grab
I live on the road, I m the mechanised swaggie of this day
(let s go now)
Yeah things have changed old timer
And yet they re still the same
The Swaggies old tradition lives on
In the truckin' game
Cause, I m a mechanised swaggie in a Kenworth T950
Checkin' the gauges and the axle weights
Listening to the sound of the Jacob s brake
We live on the road, we re the mechanized swaggies of this day
Hey!
I'm a mechanized swaggie in a Kenworth T950
I haul big freight across the paddock to Perth
Me an my girl share the wheel and the berth
We live on the road, we re the mechanised swaggies of this day
Hey!
Slim Dusty, AO MBE (born David Gordon Kirkpatrick; 13 June 1927 – 19 September 2003) was an Australian country music singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer. He was an Australian cultural icon and one of the country's most awarded stars, with a career spanning nearly seven decades and numerous recordings. He was known to record songs in the legacy of Australia, particularly of bush life and renowned Australian bush poets Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson that represented the lifestyle. The music genre was coined the "bush ballad", a style first made popular by Buddy Williams, the first artist to perform the genre in Australia, and also for his many trucking songs. Dusty was the first Australian to have a No. 1 international hit song, with a version of Gordon Parsons' "A Pub with No Beer". He received an unequalled 37 Golden Guitar and two Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards and was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and the Country Music Roll of Renown.
