[Verse 1]
Two thousand kilometers of bitumen and dust
From the Brisbane city lights to where the red dirt rusts
Pack the cooler, check the oil, we’re heading for the north
On the lifeline of Queensland, rolling back and forth
Through the fields of sugar cane and the paperbark trees
Windows rolled down, catching that coastal breeze
[Chorus]
Oh, the Bruce Highway is calling me tonight
Underneath the Southern Cross shining big and bright
From Gympie to the Cape, we’re keeping it in gear
Stretching out forever, year after year
Singing with the radio, chasing down the sun
The Bruce Highway run
[Verse 2]
Rumble strips are humming, big rigs passing by
Underneath the canopy of a wide-open sky
Hear the cane trains whistle up in Mackay
Watch the tropical storm clouds building way up high
Through Rockhampton, Townsville, and straight to Cairns
Every single mile has a story of its own
[Chorus]
Oh, the Bruce Highway is calling me tonight
Underneath the Southern Cross shining big and bright
From Gympie to the Cape, we’re keeping it in gear
Stretching out forever, year after year
Singing with the radio, chasing down the sun
The Bruce Highway run
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Just another road sign, another dusty town
Where the Great Dividing Range comes tumbling down
Yeah, we're almost there
On the Bruce Highway run
Roll on, roll on...
[Fade Out]
