Star Trucker - Slim Dusty

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
