[00:00.000]Dogs, Dust And Diesel - Slim Dusty
[00:01.295]Hay
[00:05.959]Dogs and dust and diesel
[00:07.635]Have been my mates for
[00:08.636]Years
[00:09.556]We've thumped the corrugations
[00:11.400]And moved a million gears
[00:13.600]Seen a heap of country
[00:15.177]And met some decent folk
[00:16.998]Departed and farewelled them
[00:18.969]With a wave of diesel smoke
[00:21.989]We've lumbered heavy haulage
[00:23.592]And run some lively loads
[00:25.669]Through spinifex and sandhills
[00:27.524]Where the bends are pigeon toed
[00:30.245]Hey been pulled up by the coppers
[00:32.146]With me that's
[00:32.849]Common mate
[00:33.982]Always breakin' some infringement
[00:35.726]Now they call me overweight
[00:38.628]Hey dogs and dust and diesel
[00:40.735]Coupled up with oil
[00:41.528]And grease
[00:42.677]Have bound me to the cabin
[00:44.438]With a lifetime verbal
[00:45.669]Lease
[00:46.469]The song of this old diesel
[00:48.049]Ridin' home without a
[00:49.421]Stop
[00:50.108]Rides easy like the dog and gates all piggy backed
[00:52.921]On top
[00:54.819]I've been bogged out in the donger
[00:56.815]Pulled down by
[00:57.476]Suction mud
[00:58.764]Where swampland bred mosquitoes drained a billy can of blood
[01:03.651]Worn out a post hole shovel then put my mouth
[01:06.226]In gear
[01:07.584]Pulled it back to neutral just in case the lord
[01:10.154]Should hear
[01:27.985]I boil up by the roadway as daylight slowly dims
[01:31.992]And watch the bulldust pyramids tricklin' from the rims
[01:35.914]Check the dog and diesel air hose and coupling rings
[01:39.437]There's a blowout on the bogey and the dog has
[01:41.988]Broken springs
[01:44.092]All through the outback country we find his rendezvous
[01:48.159]A diesel patch a ring of oil and a sardine
[01:50.564]Tin or two
[01:53.076]Pull tops from the stubbies and a few more tell
[01:55.520]Tale clues
[01:56.666]Where loads and rolls of topics and general daily news
[02:17.283]Yeah a truckies compensation is a freeway wide and black
[02:21.164]The milepegs fly much faster than those a way outback
[02:25.213]I'll get dry cleaned and polished have a major service
[02:28.068]Done
[02:29.024]Throughout the truck returnin' home to the dog and diesel run
[02:32.291]Hay
[02:33.546]Hey dogs and dust and diesel have been my mates
[02:36.456]For years
[02:37.528]We've thumped the corrugations and moved a million gears
[02:41.415]Seen a heap of country and met some decent folk
[02:45.105]Departed and farewelled them with a wave of diesel smoke
