[00:00.00]???LONG BLACK ROAD
[00:04.78]
[00:07.93]When I spend a week at home I just sit around and moan
[00:12.84]It?s a cobweb that we call suburban load
[00:16.98]Then I know it?s time to leave, I got freedom up my sleeve
[00:23.55]And my mates are out there on the long black road
[00:27.23]
[00:29.04]When the pressures of the town start to grind you down
[00:34.24]And you feel your very soul set to explode
[00:38.21]And the troubles and the strife that surrounds you in this life
[00:44.37]You leave behind out on the long black road
[00:48.15]
[00:49.73]You can have your city mansions swimming pools and gardens big
[00:54.64]Australia is my playground and my mansion this old rig
[00:59.80]It?s the kind of life we choose and become addicted to
[01:06.46]Yeah lovin? livin? drivin? this old rig
[01:10.26]

[01:33.19]One week we?re in the north, and another way down south
[01:38.21]From east to west they need an urgent load
[01:42.45]Then you?re rollin? once again cross the big old Nullarbor plain
[01:48.51]It?s a lifetime rollin? down the long black road
[01:52.34]
[01:53.76]When the dust is flyin? high out beneath the southern sky
[01:58.71]It?s the best darn way of life you come across
[02:02.34]And your home from home?s just fine this old black rig of mine
[02:09.17]The rig they call the flyin? southern cross
[02:12.64]
[02:13.81]Yeah you can have your city mansions swimming pools and gardens big
[02:18.95]Australia is my playground and my mansion this old rig
[02:24.15]It?s the kind of life we choose and become addicted to, hey
[02:30.87]Yeah lovin? livin? drivin? this old rig
[02:33.99]
[02:42.39]One week we?re in the north, and another way down south
[02:47.26]From east to west they need an urgent load
[02:51.30]Then you?re rollin? once again cross the big old Nullarbor plain
[02:57.53]It?s a lifetime rollin? down the long black road
[03:01.62]It?s a lifetime rollin? down the long black road
[03:06.80]Hey a lifetime rollin? down the long black road
