Still Riding That Line

• G

    G              C              G 
Its so hard now to try and make a buck, 
                              D 
Workin' seven days behind the wheel of your truck. 
G                        C           G 
Listening to Slim as the hours slip away, 
                                    D          G 
As you clock up the miles along the Newell highway. 
 
 
 
 G                           C  G 
Another load of steel, about 26 ton, 
                                               D 
From the Sunshine plant to Brisbane, well he's makin' the run. 
G                       C    G 
Changin' blown tyres in 40 degrees, 
                                  D        G 
Or spinnin' out on black ice just out of Moree. 
 
 
 
            C     D           G 
And they're still ridin' that line, 
    C           D        G 
And home may be so far behind. 
            C          D           Em    C     
But they're doing what they really love, 
                       D               G 
'Cause that diesel was brewed in their blood. 
 
 
 
G                    C            G 
My father Peter is a truck driver too, 
                                D 
And his father Cannonball, well, he had a few. 
     G                       C           G 
They talked of giving up, of doing other things, 
                               D                  G 
It cuts you to the core when a mate dies in their rig. 
 
 
 
            C     D           G 
And they're still ridin' that line, 
    C           D        G 
And home may be so far behind. 
            C          D           Em    C     
But they're doing what they really love, 
                       D               G 
'Cause that diesel was brewed in their blood. 
 
 
 
C  D  Em  C  D  G 
INSTRUMENTAL 
 
 
 
        G                    C             G 
Now ol' Cannonball rides the trails in the sky, 
                    Em          D           G 
And like a guardian angel, he's there by my side. 
 
 
 
            C     D           G 
And they're still ridin' that line, 
    C           D        G 
And home may be so far behind. 
            C          D           Em    C     
But they're doing what they really love, 
                       D               G 
'Cause that diesel was brewed in their blood. 
            C     D           G 
And they're still ridin' that line, 
    C           D        G 
And home may be so far behind. 
            C          D           Em    C     
But they're doing what they really love, 
                       D               G 
'Cause that diesel was brewed in their blood. 
            C          D               G      C  D  G 
'Cause that diesel was brewed in their blood.
