Fill 'Er Up - Slim Dusty

Sound of truck stopping

Fill 'er up old mate, fill 'er up,

While I duck inside and grab a cup,

I’ll have some chips and a burger as well,

I’ve made a lot of miles now it’s time for a spell.

Check the water in the tanks are full,

There’s a lotta long miles left to pull,

The tyres nearly melten from the heat of the sun,

But nothing bothers me, I’m on the homeward run.

I should make it home on one more tank,

Oh this loads as good as cash in the bank,

I’ve done a long job now I’ve got back load,

It’s the only damn way when you’re out on the road.

Yeah.

Fill 'er up old mate, fill 'er up,

While I duck inside and grab a cup,

I’ll have some chips and a burger as well,

I’ve made a lot of miles now it’s time for a spell.

Thanks a lot old mate, see ya soon,

I should be back home by the risin' of the moon,

My woman’s waitin' there just to make it worthwhile,

By the time the dust settles I’ll be livin' in style.

I got some lollies and things for the kids,

And some yarns about all the things I did,

I’ll tell them some stories and tell some lies,

Oh it does a man good to see the love in their eyes.

Fill 'er up old mate, fill 'er up,

While I duck inside and grab a cup,

I’ll have some chips and a burger as well,

I’ve made a lot of miles now it’s time for a spell.

Fill 'er up old mate, fill 'er up,
