"Fill 'Er Up" lyrics

"Fill 'Er Up"

Fill 'er up, old mate, fill 'er up
While I duck inside and grab a cup
I'll have some chips and a burger as well
I've made a lot of miles, now it's time for a spell

Check the water when the tanks are full
There's a lot of long miles left to pull
The tires nearly meltin' from the heat of the sun
But nothin' bothers me, I'm on the homeward run

I should make it home on one more tank
Oh, this load's as good as cash in the bank
I've done a long job, now I've got a back-load
It's the only damn way when you're out on the road, yeah

So fill 'er up, old mate, fill 'er up
While I duck inside and grab a cup
I'll have some chips and a burger as well
I've made a lot of miles, now it's time for a spell

Well, thanks a lot old mate, see ya soon
I should be back home by the risin' of the moon
My woman's waitin' there just to make it worthwhile
By the time the dust settles, I'll be livin' in style

I got some lollies and things for the kids
And some yarns about all the things I did
I'll tell 'em some stories and tell 'em some lies
Oh, it does a man good to see the love in their eyes

So fill 'er up, old mate, fill 'er up
While I duck inside and grab a cup
I'll have some chips and a burger as well
I've made a lot of miles, now it's time for a spell

Fill 'er up, old mate, fill 'er up
While I duck inside and grab a cup
I'll have some chips and a burger as well
I've made a lot of miles, now it's time for a spell, hey
