He leans out the window and waves to his Mum
Youâd swear all his birthdays had rolled into one
âCause heâs headinâ out on his maiden run
Up to the far north of Queensland
I tell him the names of the truck stops and towns
The stretches and corners and where theyâll be found
The stories and yarns Iâve picked up on my rounds
And he listens with wide-open eyes
âCause heâs riding on dieseline dreams
Down a highway that runs through his mind
Behind the wheel of the biggest rig heâs ever seen
Riding on dieseline dreams
His ears are glued to that cracklinâ C.B.
But heâs got that lingo down to a tee
And thereâs pride in his eyes when he looks up at me
Oh yeah heâs a truck driversâ son
And given the chance heâd be in my shoes
But right now heâs primed for an afternoon snooze
Though heâs determined to look out for âroos
The road finally lulls him away
And heâs riding on dieseline dreams
Down a highway that runs through his mind
Behind the wheel of the biggest rig heâs ever seen
Riding on dieseline dreams
Instrumental
While my boyâs dozinâ the memories flood in
And Iâm back in the cabin with my Dad again
Tellinâ myself how Iâll be just like him
It donât seem all that long ago
Yet hereâs my own son thinkinâ the same
Itchinâ to get himself into the game
He wonât understand when I try to explain
Son itâs not what it used to be
âCause heâs riding on dieseline dreams
Down a highway that runs through his mind
Behind the wheel of the biggest rig heâs ever seen
Riding on dieseline dreams
Behind the wheel of the biggest rig heâs ever seen
Riding on dieseline dreams
