Slim Dusty - Answer To Billy lyrics

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, t'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! Instrumental 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." Instrumental She watches all the trucks roll in, there's Jim from Gundagai She watches out for Billy's truck in traffic pa**in' 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! Instrumental 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, 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
