Cold Chisel

Hump that coffin up round one more bend
Hump that coffin up round one more bend
If your head needs a bandage
Try a roadhouse open sandwich
Dodge the waitress and hit the road again
I got dogs disease and asphalt on my shoes
I got dogs disease and asphalt on my shoes
I got the houndog sittin on the side of the road
Houndog sittin on the side of the road
Houndog sittin on the side of the highway blues
Yeah the highway blues
I coulda flown East-West
But the ticket was outa my range
I coulda gone rail
But they said I looked a little strange
The Budget girls just got the sack
The interstate bus just breaks my back
Im sick of getting home
Counting my remaining change
I got the houndog sittin on the side of the road
Houndog sittin on the side of the road
Houndog sittin on the side of the highway blues
Ride the line to Hornsby station
Find my circus animals again
Undenied
Dont need no communication
Through the ghost-towns, and fade away
Im outside
The railway dont come out here no more
And its cold
Through Nambucca, up the coast
Grass is greener
Girls are sweeter
I did it all the last ten summers
Leave the waves and change the culture
Choose a far off name that suites ya
Bali, Bangkok, overland
Asian highway, Amsterdam
Always some town unexplored
And in the end
Its the motion is its own reward
Its just the motion
Ive had petrol-heads and country hicks
Bible-freaks and lunatics
Fifty miles to go and Ill be home
Ill be home
I got the houndog sittin on the side of the road
Houndog sittin on the side of the road
Houndog sittin on the side of the highway blues
