Answer To Billy

It must be all of three years now

Since billy hit the track

And jenny with a broken heart

Has been to hell and back

They say she'll never love again

Was just a one night stand

For she's still holds a candle for

That no good truckin' man

Now jenny runs a diner

Where she's workin' until late

To catch a glimpse of billy

When he's hauling interstate

But every trucks a kenworth

When she's lookin' for a mack

And deep down in her heart she knows

That billy won't be back

Hey

He's out there somewhere

In the night the flashes comes again

She sees him on a mountain road

In driving wind and rain

With vision poor and glaring lights

And blinded weary eyes

Ah she prays to god

"Don't let it be the way that billy dies "

She watches all the trucks roll in

There's jim from gundagai

She watches out for billy's truck

In traffic passin' by

And with the roster for the day

The staff are briefed before

"Watch out for that big ol' mack

With pinstripes on the door "

She drives out on the slower

Lane on the highway out of town

And every truck she sees his face

Her world is upside down

She parks beside the vacant block

They lived there in a van

And remembers how she loved and lost

That no good trucking man

Hey

And jenny with a broken heart

Has been to hell and back

They say she'll never love again

T'was just a one night stand

For she's still holds a candle for

That no good truckin' man

Hey

Yes she's still holds a candle for

That no good truckin' man
