Star Trucker - Slim Dusty

Well now you see that feller in the louieville
He's got a mighty fine opinion of his driving skills
Give him half a chance and he'll bash your ear
Tell you how good he is
He can drive all night and he can drive day
And still be on the ball or so he'll say
But I can share a little yarn about his claim to fame
He'd rather not talk about
It was on the newell highway in July last year
Somewhere after midnight it was cold but clear
I see this big rig parked in the middle of the road
Lit up like a christmas tree
Well you can well imagine I expected the worst
So I thought I'd take a look in the cabin first
Then I see you know who by the side of the road
Standing there staring at the stars and yelling
Beam me up scotty I'm'a ready to ride
To take my place at the helm of the enterprise
And boldly go through those starry skies
Hey I've proved my worth down here on earth
I'm a star trucker star trucker
And it's time for me to go interplanetary
I'm a star star trucker
Wow
I gotta tell you boys it took me by surprise
To see the crazy look in that poor blokes eyes
And when he sees me coming he starts to scream
Klingons off the starboard bow
Then I have this flash on how to make it work
I said son it's not the klingons it's captain kirk
He says sorry captain it's been a hell of a day
And I just can't push it any harder
So beam me up scotty I'am ready to ride
To take my place at the helm of the enterprise
And boldly go through those starry skies
Hey I've proved my worth down here on earth
I'm a star trucker star trucker
And it's time for me to go interplanetary
I'm a star star trucker
Star star trucker yeah
