Red Roo Roadhouse - Slim Dusty

There’s been times I’ve had the truckie’s breakfast

A cup of bad coffee and a smoke

And you can keep your bran and your orange juice

'Cause I’m a hungry bloke

When I’m strung up tight from drivin' all night

I know just what it takes

I need the six dollar truckie’s breakfast

Like the Red Roo Roadhouse makes

You get two eggs cooked any way you like

You get bacon, snags, and toast

And a bottomless cup of strong hot coffee

While you sit with your mates and joke

Don’t ask me why the tourists go by

While the truckies hit their brakes

Oh the six dollar truckie’s breakfast

That the Red Roo Roadhouse makes

And you can sit for a while in the truckie’s corner

With the TV and calendar girl

And you can have your say about the R.P.A

And the best breakfast in the world

It may not be a fancy five star place

But it’s got what it takes

The six dollar truckie’s breakfast

That the Red Roo Roadhouse makes

(Oh yeah!)

Well I must have driven about a million miles

Through the inland and round the coast

But my favorite site is the flashin' light

Of the place we love the most

And you can keep your flashy fast food joints

With their burgers, fries, and shakes

Give me the six dollar truckie’s breakfast

That the Red Roo Roadhouse makes

And you can sit for a while in the truckie’s corner

With the TV and calendar girl

And you can have your say about the R.P.A

And the best breakfast in the world

It may not be a fancy five star place (hey!)

But it’s got what it takes

The six dollar truckie’s breakfast

That the Red Roo Roadhouse makes

I’d like to thank Cheryl for the way she cooks

And Sid for the care he takes

And the six dollar truckie’s breakfast

That the Red Roo Roadhouse makes
