Boomaroo Flyer - Slim Dusty

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)

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
