Well I'm the daughter of a truckie and since I was five years old I've been riding with my old man, I was rasied out on the road And I've seen every loney roadhouse for the Top End to the Bight And I've been across the nullabor at least a dozen times
You think you really want me but there's some thing you should know If you try to tie me down I'll just get up and go
And if you're lookin' for me tomorrow morning, I'll be gone And if you think I wouldn't leave without a warning, you'd be wrong I'm a girl on the run and I'm running for my life Don't come looking here if your looking for a wife Cos I'll be gone
You can pull me on the dance floor you can buy me a rum But dont look at me that way 'cos I'm not looking for the one I've met every witless w*nker from the Kimberley to Cairns And I'd trade a hundred lovers for a dozen ice cold cans
You think you really want me but theres some thing you should know If you try to tie me down I'll just get up and go
Gone like a beer in a friday night Gone like a truckie in the morning light Off like a rocket on outta sight, I'm gone
Gone like a beer in a friday night Gone like a truckie in the morning light Off like a rocket on outta sight, I'm gone Gone like your pride at a B&S Gone like a young bride's wedding dress Gone like the Poms at an Ashes Test, I'm gone Yeah I'll be gone
