Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He left Perth with the dawn
Hi-vis vest and a dented old ute
One week on the coast
Next week where the road crews move
He sleeps where the job sheet lands
By a fence line or a servo wall
Maps folded on the dash
He’s got work in every state at all
[Pre-Chorus]
From the Nullarbor heat
To the cane fields up north
One sign in his hand
And he’s gone off course
[Chorus]
He follows the road signs
Back roads and borderlines
Stop sign larrikin
Chasing the work again
He follows the road signs
Across that red dirt line
Stop sign larrikin
Till the next town begins
[Verse 2]
Darwin mornings, sweating through
Then Tasmania in the rain
Mackay to Mildura
He knows every patch by name
Radar gun and a radio crackle
Two-way talk and a raised palm
He waves the trucks on through
Keeps the whole long line calm
[Pre-Chorus]
From the cane fields south
To the mining camp dust
If the lane shuts down
He’s the one you trust
[Chorus]
He follows the road signs
Back roads and borderlines
Stop sign larrikin
Chasing the work again
He follows the road signs
Across that red dirt line
Stop sign larrikin
Till the next town begins
[Bridge]
He’s got a weathered hat
And a cooler full of ice
Every new postcode
Feels like paying the price
But he likes that life
Never stays too long
One more season, one more shift
Then he’s rolling on
[Final Chorus]
He follows the road signs
Back roads and borderlines
Stop sign larrikin
Chasing the work again
He follows the road signs
Across that red dirt line
Stop sign larrikin
Till the next town begins
He follows the road signs
Back roads and borderlines
Stop sign larrikin
That’s how he makes his way
