AstroMuso - Black Jack Lyrics

Too many miles still try'n to bridge the gap back home
Gotta 30 ton load that feels like she's fly'n
Two stops to Darwin and the mornings nearly over
Think I'll meet the old mate Black Jack
And drop another load
Black Jack do ya copy do ya copy Black Jack over
I'll meet you on the corner of the pub just down the road
These big wheels have been turning now for days seems like a year
Let's pull in to the station now and sink a few cold beers
Well old Jack he never answered never heard my call at all
So I just kept on a rolling down that lonely country road
One mile of dust behind me and a spirit of my own
In a land that's god forsaken
Just a bloody dried up hole
As I pulled in to the station 60 miles on down the road
Saw a Mac with a broken axle and a damned heavy load
So I lent a hand and asked the man if he'd seen me old mate Jack
Said I've been call'n out for ages since I hit the old dust trap
Black Jack do ya copy do ya copy Black Jack over
I'll meet you on the corner of the pub just down the road
These big wheels have been turning now for days seems like a year
Let's pull in to the station now and sink a few cold beers
When he looked at me in wonderment a shiver chilled my spine
As I looked the old truck over, the answer came to mind
Old Jack he'd done his load that day
And the wreck was towed away
Old Black Jack's days were over
And my haunting words that day
Black Jack do ya copy do ya copy Black Jack over
I'll meet you on the corner of the pub just down the road
These big wheels have been turning now for days seems like a year
Let's pull in to the station now and sink a few cold beers
Black Jack do ya copy do ya copy Black Jack over
I'll meet you on the corner of the pub just down the road
These big wheels have been turning now for days seems like a year
Let's pull in to the station now and sink a few cold beers
