[Intro]
D Em7
[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?
[Instrumental]
Em7 D
[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
[Instrumental]

[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

Is there anything in store, is there more for a truckies wife?
