800 Down Low"
Verse 1Midnight rolls across the highway line,White T610 and she's looking fine,Swan on the bonnet, stainless shining bright,Amber lights flashing through the Victorian night.
Weatherboard house sitting steady on the float,MTE trailer carrying somebody's old hope,Pilot cars calling, got the radios alive,Moving someone's memories down the Great South side.
ChorusWe're riding 800 down low, nice and slow,Through the sleeping towns where the cold winds blow,Stainless steel shining underneath the moonlight glow,Amber lights flashing as the old house rolls.
Big Kenworth Cummins sings a song,Keeping history alive all night long,From the city to the country where the gum trees grow,We're riding 800 down low.
Verse 2Council signs leaning, but the boys know the drill,Hydraulics working while the night stays still,One hand on the wheel, eyes fixed ahead,Guiding old weatherboards to a new life instead.
Every scar on the timber tells a story untold,Families raised there, memories worth gold,Daylight's coming but we're not there yet,Still got miles to run and a load to set.
ChorusWe're riding 800 down low, nice and slow,Through the sleeping towns where the cold winds blow,Stainless steel shining underneath the moonlight glow,Amber lights flashing as the old house rolls.
Big Kenworth humming with a thunderous tone,Saving old homes from the wrecking zone,From Melbourne roads to the mountain snow,We're riding 800 down low.
BridgeNHVR permit in the window light,Escort calling clear on the radio tonight,Chrome stacks reflecting every beacon's glow,Old house, new future, down the road we go.
Final ChorusWe're riding 800 down low, side markers aglow,White 610 leading the convoy show,Stainless steel sparkling while the cool winds blow,Amber lights flashing and the old house rolls.
When the sun comes up and the work day's done,Another house saved and another move won,KH on the door and everybody knows,The T610 S.A.R. keeps the old homes rolling on.
