Broke down at a truck stop
Got wet sweat under a hardtop (yeah'm, they got 'em)
Wrong directions are shown
Threw up in the men's restroom
This is not the way home
Shotgun freckle the road signs
Wind burn 'cross the white line (out here)
So much nothing is grown
We finished our fifth six-pack (get another one)
This is not the way home (alright, get lost, go)
ย
(Reckon we stop for a piss?)
(We could stop for like five minutes maybe, please)
(I gotta go for another piss, I really do)
(I mean it)
Left early without paying the bill
Hitchhiked back to Broken Hill
Left my wallet somewhere
Wrong directions are shown
This is not the way home
ย
Broke down at a truck stop
A wet sweat under a hardtop (Ford Falcon hardtop)
Wrong directions are shown again
Threw up in the men's shit house
But this is not the way home
(Yes, uh, turn around, we lost the keys)
Uh, this is not the way home
(Not the way home, turn around, forty miles back)
