verse 1 Well I rubbed the dirt all down And I washed away six ach-ing days And my shoes all slick and spit and my singlet fresh and my sideburns shaved as I turn from the mirror and I open my first beer since yester-day verse 2 Danny brings the Bedford round a three ton girl with a flat top tray And she knows the way to town so we kiss goodbye to two weeks pay Now the leaves are all shaking and the stars are all waking from the day Big wheel turning Turning all night Big light burning Burning so bright Downright foolish but that's all right it's only 40 miles to Saturday night verse 3 Theres a place on Maylin Street and a band down there called Gunga Din And Joanne from Miner's Creek, she said that she'd be back again She lives out on the station and she works on my imagination Big wheel turning Turning all night Big light burning Burning so bright Downright foolish but that's all right it's only 40 miles to Saturday night Big wheel turning Turning all night Big light burning Burning so bright Downright foolish but that's all right it's only 40 miles to Saturday night
