Adam Brand King Of The Road lyrics

Joey lived a mile outta Southern Cross<br />
Working on trucks for the local pit boss<br />
Friday nights when he'd come to town<br />
They'd all line up to see him lay some<br />
Rubber down<br />
<br />
Joey had a ute built in '74<br />
With a 350 Chevy and 4 on the floor<br />
Chrome wire wheels and customised back<br />
He could run the main street ¼ mile in under 10 flat<br />
<br />
'Cause he's the king of the road out here<br />
He's won four big Ford's and an old John Deer<br />
He won the summer nationals twice<br />
He's the king of the road out here on Friday nights<br />
<br />
Was a summer's night and I remember it well<br />

A city boy thought he had a story to tell<br />
He had a turbo charged flash in the pan<br />
He walked up to Joey and said<br />
Hey, I hear you're the man<br />
<br />
The whole town was there, it was quite a scene<br />
It was the biggest race there ever had been<br />
That little car looked pretty in red<br />
Now Joey's gran is driving it instead<br />
<br />
You might have Brocky in the city spotlight<br />
But you ain't ever seen Joey on a Friday night<br />
Folks come a-running from miles around<br />
Just to see our Joey laying rubber down
