I'm a truckie and a truckie son
And my son will be a truckie just like me
I'm modern drover on the road
Lovin' all the country that I see
Cattle, timber, frozen food
And float it through the magic scenery
I can't help it that I'm restless
Moving is another word for free
I'm a bushy and a bushy son
And my son will be a bushy just like me
Proud to be an overlander
Bein' anything I want to be
I'll dig a hole, I'll paint your roof,
Any kind of job, don't worry me
I can't help it that I'm restless
Movin' is another word for free
I'm an Islander man, my father too
my son will be an Islander like me
Australian, black man, Aborigine
I'm the keeper of the storms
out here in the Northern Territory
I can't help it that I'm proud to be
Australian is another word
Wishing you could ride along with us
Some of us with caravans,
We're dreaming of the ladies
Who teach us blokes respectability
Moving is another word for free
And we're proud to be Australian
Australia is another word for free
