From the recording Australian Songs
Lyrics
"Ninety Miles" (A. Woodley)
rollin’ down the highway
ten wheels singin’ sweet
cool breeze blowin’ through my hair
free as free can be
shiftin’ through a gear or two
and never miss a beat
ninety miles an hour
seven days a week
driving rain at Emu Plains
dust at Broken Hill
desert kings at Alice Springs
no time for standing still
got paid in Adelaide
Sydney by half past ten
signed sealed delivered
and on the road again
ninety miles, ninety miles
Australia right beside me all the while
Ninety miles, ninety miles
And I’ve got some way to go
There was a five car stack at Nabiac
blue heelers on the scene
shimmerin’ tar at Gunnedah
I see it in my dreams
one eye in the mirror I pray the Lord my soul to keep
ninety miles and hour
seven days a week
ninety miles, ninety miles
Australia right beside me and she smiles
ninety miles, ninety miles
and I’ve got somewhere to go
Hey mister can you tell me the way to paradise
I’ve got a load of steel I’ve got to get there by tonight
he said you see that blue sky and that open road ahead
just a-keep on truckin’ down the line
you’ll get there in the end
you’ll get there in the end
ninety miles, ninety miles
Australia right beside me all the while
ninety miles, ninety miles
and I’ve got somewhere to go, whoah-wo
ninety miles
ninety miles
ninety miles
ninety miles
