Well I've gotta make it into Sydney markets tonight

I've gotta be unloaded at Flemington before daylight

The Kennys' polished up and my log books' filled in to 

go

Why on earth I took on long distance drivin', mate I'll 

never know



I pushed her into 1st gear let the clutch out and then 

I'm away

The way the clutch is shuddering she's four tonne over 

I'd say

I hate to think what will happen when we get to Marulan 

weighbridge

If they make me unload I'll be late and that's ridgy 

didge

Hey!



Well I've gotta make it into Sydney markets tonight

I gotta be unloaded at Flemington before daylight

My Kennys' polished up and my log books' filled in to 

go

Why on earth I took on long distance drivin', mate I'll 

never know. hey!



I got my ears on but I'm sittin' on the side I don't 

want to chat

I only use it emergency to ask where the blue lights 

are at

If I don't blow a tyre I'll be there in plenty of time

If I don't go crazy starin' at this long white line, 

hey!



Cause I've gotta make it into Sydney markets tonight

I've gotta be unloaded at Flemington before daylight

The Kennys' polished up and my log books' filled in to 

go

Oh why on earth I took on long distance drivin', mate 

I'll never know

That's right!



That bloke in the kombi, is drivin' me right round the 

bend

I'll tailgate awhile he might let me around in the end

If he keeps slowin' up it's certain that I'll do my 

block

If that happens mate he'll be in for one hell of a 

shock, yeah!
