Truckies lament

The large trucks on my recent road trip throughout nsw inspired me

Making my way back to you
The long grey bitumen
The sun does burn
Along the lonesome blue and grey
Scatters of green
Mostly grey blur fast
Through my side of eye

My speed it's high
I'll pass this car and that
Along the way
I see the tragic sight
The road kill of
Kangaroo and wombat
Who died in vain
But many do claim
To heed the signs
Of kangaroo on next 9 km there

I stop at cafe sip a sour old coffee there
I ring you up
Just to hear your breath
Your voice it wanders it lingers
It teases my wind blown long Truckee hair
I turn my radio up loud
Of course Elvis or Denver or willie Nelson
I hum to now
I whistle your name I purse my lips
The road is hot
Just like an eclipse

The temp reaches 42
My brow so hot
My heart so yearning
To give you my love
I'm coming home dear
To kiss your long wet hair
I imagine you standing
By our beer filled ice box there

At last I'm home
I reach for you
Your soft bosom and hair
Tease and tickle my beard
I'll stay with you till dawn has come
Then reach for keys
That lay over there
Beckoning me to the open hot road
The road I love
Though I love you too
My open hot road
It wins me now
You kiss me sweet
I'm gone again
With the wind in my
Long Truckee hair

Am i right in thinking. Australia is the only country that still allow the long trucks. I suppose the wildlife don't stand a chance. But the guy is rushing home to you. All forgiven.
