Well I rubbed the dirt all down And I washed away six ach-ing days And my
shoes all slick and spit and my singlet fresh and my sideburns shaved as I
turn from the mirror and I open my first beer since yester-day
verse 2
Danny brings the Bedford round a three ton girl with a flat top tray
And she knows the way to town so we kiss goodbye to two weeks pay
Now the leaves are all shaking and the stars are all waking from the day
Big wheel turning Turning all night Big light burning Burning so bright
Downright foolish but that's all right it's only 40 miles to Saturday night
verse 3
Theres a place on Maylin Street and a band down there called Gunga Din
And Joanne from Miner's Creek, she said that she'd be back again
She lives out on the station and she works on my imagination
Big wheel turning Turning all night Big light burning Burning so bright
Downright foolish but that's all right it's only 40 miles to Saturday night
Big wheel turning Turning all night Big light burning Burning so bright
Downright foolish but that's all right it's only 40 miles to Saturday night
