John Williamson - The Truckies Wife Chords

[Intro]
D    E7
 
 
[Verse 1]
      D                                           Em7
She's looking out the window dreaming on fading lights
                                                             D
Her man is on the job again a long one this time for seven nights
                                                                  Em7
He's loaded up and ready, kicked his tyres and wheeled off to the west
                             D
And she's already feeling, lonely
 
 
[Chorus]
                                                      Em7
And the pain runs down her cheek and on her dressing gown
                                                                      D
She gives all the love she can, she doesn't plan to slow her truckie down
                                                                    Em7
And she battles with her babies and lately been thinking about her life
                                                          D
Is there anything in store is there more for a truckies wife?

[Verse 2]
                                                                       Em7
And its raining down in Willow-tree you wouldn't hear a diesel truck tonight
                                                                 D
Full of murra and di tucker and a cuppa and starting to feel alright
                                                            Em7
While she sleeps off another day of her underpaid full time job
                                                          D
Schooling and feeding and dressing and loving her little mob

[Verse 3]
                                                                    Em7
And the motors running hot at his feet and he's thinking about his boys
                                                          D
He's more like an uncle, comes home with ice creams and toys
                                                         Em7
But at least he's got a job and it seems like he's in control
                                        D         Em7         D
But he'd rather be at home, with his woman
 
 
[Chorus]
                                                      Em7
And the pain runs down her cheek and on her dressing gown
                                                                    D
She gives all the love she can she doesn't plan to slow her truckie down
                                                                   Em7
And she battles with her babies and lately been thinking about her life
                                                           D      Em7         D
Is there anything in store, is there more for a truckies wife?
          Em7
Is there anything in store, is there more for a truckies wife?
