Road Trains
The drovin' tracks are over they move in cattle trains Where there's red dust on the ridges and blacksoil on the plains The drover strokes his iron steed and springs to a bucket seat He throws the monster into gear and she moves on rubbered feet
The hobble chains and horse bells hang silent on the wall They've been on many stages through downs and timber tall Besides the saddles and the packs that were the drovers pride Road trains roar along the track where the drovers used to ride
But it's road trains roll, road trains roll
The stock routes are deserted no droving plant you see The bores and tanks they watered at are just a memory No more you see the mob strung out along the sunburnt plain Where the old time drover battled on though dust and drought and rain
He sees again in fancy beside the camp fires glow The battered old bedourie that once was filled with dough Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com With saddle gear and swagwrap rolled out by the fireside To drove again would be this old timers joy and pride
But it's road trains roll, road trains roll
Road trains roar along the track where the drover used to ride Churning up the bulldust as they roll the miles aside Like a winding reptile with trailers wide and long Over the road and range land where the drover sang his song
There's saltbush bill and Clancy both drovers long since dead Who'd marvel to see a fleet of trailers load a thousand head Maybe their ghost a watching as progress takes its stride Over the roads and range lands where the drover used to ride
But it's road trains roll, road trains roll Road trains roll, road trains roll.
