Freight Man

I'm the daughter of a freight man Who drives them big old road trains all over Queensland And back again He'd take me out there And we'd drive from Townsville, to the middle of nowhere And I'd keep the bull dust from the tyres in Tupperware He taught me to dream And how to be on time There was always someone else in a tougher place than mine How to stick it out And take a lot of pride And to never say goodbye when you've got catch ya on the flip side Yeah he raised us in a way that only a trucker can I'm the daughter of a freight man I'm the daughter of a freight man Who knows the roads like a map on the back of his own hand Red dirt and bitumen He'd get on the two way When he was close to home, send the kids out to the driveway We could hear him blast that horn from at least a mile away He taught me to dream And how to be on time There was always someone else in a tougher place than mine How to stick it out And take a lot of pride And to never say goodbye when you've got catch ya on the flip side Yeah he raised us in a way that only a trucker can I'm the daughter of a freight man I can change a flat And I can haul a load You'll never find me stranded on some dusty old back road There ain't a place in life that I'm afraid to go I'm the daughter of a freight man Proud daughter of a freight man
