Well now you see that feller in the Louieville
he's got a mighty fine opinion of his drivinâ skills
Give him half a chance and heâll bash your ear
Tell you how good he is!
He can drive all night and he can drive day
And still be on the ball or so heâll say
But I can share a little yarn about his claim to fame
Heâd rather not talk about
It was on the Newell highway in July last year
Somewhere after midnight it was cold but clear
I see this big rig parked in the middle of the road
Lit up like a Christmas tree!
Well you can well imagine I expected the worst
So I thought I'd take a look in the cabin first
Then I see you know who by the side of the road
Standinâ there starinâ at the stars and yellinâ
âBeam me up Scotty imâa ready to ride
To take my place at the helm of the Enterprise
And boldly go through those starry skies
Hey I've proved my worth down here on earth
I'm a star trucker, star trucker
And it's time for me to go interplanetary
I'm a star, star trucker â
Guitar Solo
I gotta tell you boys it took me by surprise
To see the crazy look in that poor blokes eyes
And when he sees me cominâ he starts to scream
âKlingons off the starboard bowâ
Then I have this flash on how to make it work
I said âSon, it's not the Klingons, it's Captain Kirkâ
He says âSorry Captain it's been a hell of a dayâ
And I just, can't, push, it any harder
So beam me up Scotty imâa ready to ride
To take my place at the helm of the Enterprise
And boldly go through those starry skies
Hey I've proved my worth down here on earth
I'm a star trucker, star trucker
And it's time for me to go interplanetary
I'm a star, star trucker
Star, star trucker
