Текст песни Rules of the Road - Lee Kernaghan

Well it was south of Warialda
I was stranded by the Gwydir
Just the clothes that I was wearing
My old guitar case by my side

And the chilly dusk was falling
I saw the headlights in the distance
I felt an eerie stillness
Stuck my thumb out for a ride

And ancient rig and caravan
Pulled up with a rattle
A battered door squeaked open
That's when I saw him in the glow

As we rattled through the darkness
He just listened to my sorry story
'Till finally he turned and said "Boy, there's something you should know."

Something bushies __________ only know
You've got to take it on the chin and get back up again
It's a mystery you feel inside your bones
When you're living by the rules of the road."

With one hand on the wheel he fixed himself a roly
And he spoke of faded memories from a lifetime ago
And the miles became a blur of boxing tents and buck-jump shows
And the old man's form was ghostly in the dashlight and the smoke

Something bushies __________ only know
You've got to take it on the chin and get back up again
It's a mystery you feel inside your bones
When you're living by the rules of the road.

Well we were coming into North Star when he said
"This is where we park, boy.
You see, Sister Dory is waiting up ahead."
Something glistened in his eye.

And that rig just seemed to vanish
And a voice from out of nowhere seemed to say
"Tex is goin' back to Queensland
To give it one more try!"

Something bushies __________ only know
You've got to take it on the chin and get back up again
It's a mystery you feel inside your bones (you can feel it)
When you're living by the rules of the road.

Something bushies __________ only know
Well you've got to take it on the chin and get back up again
It's a mystery you feel inside your bones
When you're living by the rules of the road.
