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
|
