| When I spend a week at home I just sit around and moan | |
| It’s a cobweb that we call suburban load | |
| Then I know it’s time to leave, I got freedom up my sleeve | |
| And my mates are out there on the long black road | |
| When the pressures of the town start to grind you down | |
| And you feel your very soul set to explode | |
| And the troubles and the strife that surrounds you in this life | |
| You leave behind out on the long black road | |
| You can have your city mansions swimming pools and gardens big | |
| Australia is my playground and my mansion this old rig | |
| It’s the kind of life we choose and become addicted to | |
| Yeah lovin’ livin’ drivin’ this old rig | |
| Fiddle/ Pedal Steel Solo | |
| One week we’re in the north, and another way down south | |
| From east to west they need an urgent load | |
| Then you’re rollin’ once again cross the big old Nullarbor plain | |
| It’s a lifetime rollin’ down the long black road | |
| When the dust is flyin’ high out beneath the southern sky | |
| It’s the best darn way of life you come across | |
| And your home from home’s just fine this old black rig of mine | |
| The rig they call the flyin’ southern cross | |
| Yeah you can have your city mansions swimming pools and gardens big | |
| Australia is my playground and my mansion this old rig | |
| It’s the kind of life we choose and become addicted to, hey | |
| Yeah lovin’ livin’ drivin’ this old rig | |
| One week we’re in the north, and another way down south | |
| From east to west they need an urgent load | |
| Then you’re rollin’ once again cross the big old Nullarbor plain | |
| It’s a lifetime rollin’ down the long black road | |
| It’s a lifetime rollin’ down the long black road | |
| Hey a lifetime rollin’ down the long black road |
