Well I've been stuck in low gear for

Climbin' up a steep hill with

Verse 5
D
good long stretch
of downhill runnin',

So I let her have her head
a little bit longer,
An' she took off like a melly bull.
A
Verse 6
D
Then my mind on a meal an'
my hands on the wheel,

Then my eyes started seeing
things that couldn't be real,
D

Verse 7
E
Well, I went for the brakes like
a drunk for the bottle,
A
But my foot missed the mark an'
it landed on the throttle,
E
And the diesel roared an'
I prayed to the Lord
To the Lord "Won't you
B
gi'me a break."
E
Oh, I guess he wasn't listen'

A
Or maybe he was taken
forty winks up there

Cause soon I was riding a
22 wheel roller skate,

Verse 8
Then the wheels left the road
as far as I can remember,

Then he crashed thru the gears an'
B
E
we missed another big ole dump,
Oh yeah!
Verse 10
E
Well a round- a- bout here it kinda
gets in a muddle,
A
Though I seem to recall giving a koala
E
a cuddle an' a possum on the lap,
An' a white cockatoo screamin',
"Give her a go, ya mug."
B
Verse 11
E
Then when I awoke it was no damn joke,
A
I was alone in the cab except for
E
blokes of Billinugel,
B
Starin' in the window and sayin',
E
"Are you alright mate?"
B
I said, "Fellas give us a big
mug of black coffee,
B
A Billinugel special
burger with the works,
Because u know fellas,
B
ya never gonna believe this."
Verse 12

Well it must- a been 'round

The first sight of dawn creepin'

over the horizon,
Fifteen minutes from a
Billinugel breakfast,
I was rollin' down highway one.
B
Verse 13
E
And ya know what it's like
Up around the Northern rivers
A
Those windin' roads just
give me the shivers,
E
And to top it all up there's
been a few points of rain.
