about

A truck-drivin' song!

lyrics

Far in the distance I hear the sound of the rolling trucks going by
Carry my dreams as your wheels turn around at the end of a lonely day.

Over the hills and far away, far from my city home
Over the hills and far away to where my lover lives alone.

And though we live so far apart cos it's what we have to do
He is the one who holds my heart close to his own so true

Over the hills and far away, far from my city home
Over the hills and far away to where my lover lives alone.

One day I'll buy me a truck so fine and head down that road so long
Meet him halfway on the borderline and he'll join me in this song:

Over the hills and far away, far from my city home
Over the hills and far away to where my lover lives alone.

Far in the distance I hear the sound of the rolling trucks going by
Carry my dreams as your wheels turn around at the end of a lonely day.
