Slim Dusty Gonna Take My Dog For A Run Lyrics

[Truck sounds & Intro]
Gonna take my dog for a run,
Gonna take my dog for a run,
She runs on 22 wheels and weighs 42 ton,
Foot's goes down, she's a whole lot of fun,
500 horses make this Bulldog run.
I'm gonna take my dog for a run,

Heading west to Sydney 'cross the great divide,
Road Ranger travellin' by my side,
'Cross the Western Plains, through canola and wheat,,
For air bags, a pension and boston seat.

On the Barrier Highway out to Broken Hill,
'Cross the old Mundy Mundy where time stands still,
Mister hitch-hiking you've got nothing to fear, Hey!
'Til we're flyin' downhill in angel gear,
Here we go again!

Gonna take my dog for a run,
I'm Gonna take my dog for a run,
She runs on 22 wheels and weighs 42 ton,
Foot's goes down, she's a whole lot of fun, 500 horses make this Bulldog run.
Hey!
I'm gonna take my dog for a run,

Port Augusta is a town full of trucks and trains,
Iron ore, coal, mixed goods and grains
Now the Nullabor Plain she's long and wide,
Salt Bush spread, dirt, western skies.

Knows when it's 500 miles to go,
When we reach Coolgardie I'm starting to explode,
But when we're into Perth and another load,
Hey! A quick turn around and we're headin' back home,
Headin' home,

Gonna take my dog for a run,
I'm Gonna take my dog for a run,
She runs on 22 wheels and weighs 42 ton,
Foot's goes down, she's a whole lot of fun,
500 horses make this Bulldog run.
Hey!
I'm gonna take my dog for a run,
I'm gonna take my dog for a run.
