Boomaroo Flyer Lyrics by Slim Dusty

Makin’ a Mile

0

I run a large truck mister
And I live in Echuca and every Friday night
I have to run it down to Melbourne
I start out in Numurkah, I make Shepparton by the fadin’ light
I get another load at Seymour, then I'm hittin’ Kalkallo?
I'm in Cambellfield about midnight
And on the side of my truck it says
Boomaroo Flyer
When you ride in this truck
You don't ride any higher
And everyone along the road
Know’s the Boomaroo Flyer
When I'm on my run
I get a lot of time for thinking
Like where’s this truck taking me to
I think of rollin’ on this road when
I'm run down an’ old
And all the other things I wanna do
But when I see that big candle from my cabin window
I can smile cause I'm heading home to you
And on the side of my truck it says
Boomaroo Flyer
When you ride in this truck
You don't ride any higher
And everyone along the road
Know’s the Boomaroo Flyer, (hey)
Instrumental
I was out one night
It was late on a Sunday
And a young man steps out and flags me down
He was all of fourteen
His father had been drinkin, he was hell bent
On gettin' outta town
By the time he cooled off
We’d put some miles behind us
But eventually we turned that truck around
And on the side of my truck it says
Boomaroo Flyer
When you ride in this truck
You don't ride any higher
And everyone along the road
Know’s the Boomaroo Flyer
Yes the Boomaroo Flyer
