King Of The Road lyrics
Joey lived a mile out a Southern Cross
Working on trucks for the local pit boss
Friday nights when he d come to town
They d all line up to see him lay some
Rubber down

Joey had a ute built in 74
With a 350 Chevy and 4 on the floor
Chrome wire wheels and customised back
He could run the main street ? mile in under 10 flat

Cause he s the king of the road out here
He s won four big Ford s and an old John Deer
He won the summer nationals twice
He s the king of the road out here on Friday nights

Was a summer s night and I remember it well
A city boy thought he had a story to tell
He had a turbo charged flash in the pan
He walked up to Joey and said hey
I hear you re the man

The whole town was there it was quite a scene
It was the biggest race there ever had been
That little car looked pretty in red
Now Joey s gran is driving it instead

You might have Brocky in the city spotlight
But you ain t ever seen Joey on a Friday night
Folks come a running from miles around
Just to see our Joey laying rubber down
