A7 G A7 D
[Verse]
D
I'm a mechanised swaggie in a Kenworth T950
A7
I haul big freight across the paddock to Perth
Me and my girl share the wheel and the berth
G A7 D
We can make it in 48 hours, from Sydney.
[Verse]
D
I used to like hearing my dad tell of the depression
A7
Lookin' for work and getting knocked back
Shouldered his swag and took to the track
G A7 D
Remembers each camp and every good cook on the stations.
[Chorus]
G C D
But times have changed old timer
G C D
The years have passed you by
G C D
Some things never alter at all
A7
Let me tell you why;
[Verse]
D
The dusty roads you tramped, are now all highways
A7
The road camp now, a sleeper cab
The billy of tea, a quick coffee we grab
G A7 D G
I live on the road, I’m the mechanised swaggie of this day.(let’s go now)
[Instrumental]

A7 A7 A7 A7
G A7 D
[Chorus]
G C D
Yeah things have changed old timer
G C D
And yet they’re still the same
G C D
The Swaggies old tradition lives on
A7
In the truckin' game.
[Verse]
D
Cause I'm a mechanised swaggie in a Kenworth T950
A7
Checkin' the gauges and the axle weights
Listening to the sound of the Jacob's brake
G A7 D
We live on the road, we’re the mechanized swaggies of this day. Hey!
[Verse]

We live on the road, we’re the mechanized swaggies of this day. Hey!
