"Red Roo Roadhouse" lyrics

"Red Roo Roadhouse"

There's been times I've had the truckie's breakfast
A cup of bad coffee and a smoke
And you can keep your bran and your orange juice
'Cause I'm a hungry bloke
When I'm strung up tight from drivin' all night
I know just what it takes
I need the six dollar truckie's breakfast
Like the Red Roo Roadhouse makes

You get two eggs cooked any way you like
You get bacon, snags, and toast
And a bottomless cup of strong hot coffee
While you sit with your mates and joke
Don't ask me why the tourists go by
While the truckies hit their brakes
Oh the six dollar truckie's breakfast
That the Red Roo Roadhouse makes

And you can sit for a while in the truckie's corner
With the TV and calendar girl
And you can have your say about the R.P.A
And the best breakfast in the world
It may not be a fancy five star place
But it's got what it takes
The six dollar truckie's breakfast
That the Red Roo Roadhouse makes
(Oh yeah!)

Well I must have driven about a million miles
Through the inland and round the coast
But my favorite site is the flashin' light
Of the place we love the most
And you can keep your flashy fast food joints
With their burgers, fries, and shakes
Give me the six dollar truckie's breakfast
That the Red Roo Roadhouse makes

And you can sit for a while in the truckie's corner
With the TV and calendar girl
And you can have your say about the R.P.A
And the best breakfast in the world
It may not be a fancy five star place (hey!)
But it's got what it takes
The six dollar truckie's breakfast
That the Red Roo Roadhouse makes

I'd like to thank Cheryl for the way she cooks
And Sid for the care he takes
And the six dollar truckie's breakfast
That the Red Roo Roadhouse makes
