Lyrics Forty Miles to Saturday Night - Paul Kelly
Well
I
rubbed
the
dirt
all
down
And
I
washed
away
six
aching
days
And
my
shoes
all
slick
and
spit
And
my
singlet
fresh
and
my
sideburns
shaved
As
I
turn
from
the
mirror
And
I
open
my
first
beer
since
yesterday
Danny
brings
the
Bedford
round
A
three-ton
girl
with
a
ten-foot
tray
And
she
knows
the
way
to
town
So
we
kiss
goodbye
to
two
weeks'
pay
Now
the
leaves
are
shaking
And
the
stars
are
all
waking
from
the
day
Big
wheel
turning
(turning
all
night)
Big
light
burning
(burning
so
bright)
Downright
foolish
but
that's
alright
It's
only
forty
miles
to
Saturday
night!
There's
a
place
on
Fortune
Street
And
a
band
down
there
called
Gunga
Din
And
Joanne
from
Miner's
Creek
She
said
that
she'd
be
back
again
She
lives
out
on
the
station
And
she
works
on
my
imagination
Big
wheel
turning
(turning
all
night)
Big
light
burning
(burning
so
bright)
Downright
foolish
but
that's
alright
It's
only
forty
miles
to
Saturday
night!
