Adam Brand - King Of The Road

Joey lived a mile out a Southern Cross

Working on trucks for the local pit boss

Friday nights when he'd come to town

They'd all line up to see him lay some

Rubber down



Joey had a ute built in '74

With a 350 Chevy and 4 on the floor

Chrome wire wheels and customised back

He could run the main street ¼ mile in under 10 flat



Cause he's the king of the road out here

He's won four big Ford's and an old John Deer

He won the summer nationals twice

He's the king of the road out here on Friday nights



Was a summer's night and I remember it well

A city boy thought he had a story to tell

He had a turbo charged flash in the pan

He walked up to Joey and said hey

I hear you're the man



The whole town was there it was quite a scene

It was the biggest race there ever had been

That little car looked pretty in red

Now Joey's gran is driving it instead



You might have Brocky in the city spotlight

But you ain't ever seen Joey on a Friday night

Folks come a running from miles around

Just to see our Joey laying rubber down
