Travis Sinclair - Glory Bound Lyrics

Lyrics Glory Bound - Travis Sinclair



At the Sommerton depot
Billy loaded up his rig
When a driver walked up to him
Introduced himself as Nick
Well, Nick 'The Flash' had the reputation
Fastest rig around
He said "Hey Billy, where you headed?"
Billy said "To Sydney-Town"
Well, Nick 'The Flash' just grinned a grin
Said, "Well come along"
"Five-hundred bucks says I'll beat you there"
Well, Billy said "You're on"
As Nick drove off he laughed out loud
"That five-hundred's mine"
Billy climbed up in his rig
And he headed up behind
Billy reached 'Hamburger Hill'
He was overweight
So he listened for the news
They'd closed the Broadford plate
And as he jammed it into gear
He cursed his rotten luck
He reckons he had fifty k's
A ride to catch him up
They ran to the border
And on to Gundagai
Dueling rigs like thunder
Rolling through the night
North to Marulan
And on to Sydney-Town
Rebels on the highway
Hellbent and glory bound
When Billy reached the Albury cameras
He turned off all his lights
And he passed through undetected
Then on to Gundagai
When he crossed the hills to Coolac
The rain came belting down
The road was greasy, jackknife-hell
But Billy held his ground
Marulan was his biggest gamble
To the weigh-bridge he was bound
A logbook check and barbie-plate
He knew they'd shut him down
And he prayed to his maker
The station would be closed
Lady Luck was smiling
And onward Billy rode
They ran to the border
And on to Gundagai
Dueling rigs like thunder
Rolling through the night
North to Marulan
And on to Sydney-Town
Rebels on the highway
Hellbent and glory bound
Well a few miles out of Campbelltown
His foot flat to the floor
Billy drew up ever closer
Sat on Nick's back door
And side by side, k by k
The mighty diesel strained
They passed a sign, "Roadworks ahead"
"Form a single lane"
They thundered on neck-and-neck
Neither giving in
With so much riding on it
To waiver was a sin
And then at the final moment
Nick lost his nerve and braked
Billy ran his rig to victory
The new king of the Hume Highway
They ran to the border
And on to Gundagai
Dueling rigs like thunder
Rolling through the night
North to Marulan
And on to Sydney-Town
Rebels on the highway
They ran to the border
And on to Gundagai
Dueling rigs like thunder
Rolling through the night
North to Marulan
And on to Sydney-Town
Rebels on the highway
Rebels on the highway
Hellbent and glory bound
