It was Sunday night and July was cold,
the year was 88 ,
when the truckies put up the barricades
round the highwways interstate .

Five hundred trucks stopped at Donnybrook
and the men were ready to fight .
They all took a stand there at Donnybrook
on that cold dark winter night .
l
It was no place for a man to be
with his wfie and kids to feed ,
the curse must leave ,
brave men stand together in times of need .
Tempers were pumping like gasoline ,
july was jumping with rage :
What a wicked world when a working man
can't earn a decent wage .

There's always trucks on the highways ,
pushing men to pumping pills ,
Its a hard graft for sure these days,
just to run a rig and pay the bills .
The roads keep rolling for miles and miles ,
people you better make way ,
this one's for all the truckies ,
who put the roadblocks on the highway .

It was Sunday night and July was cold,
the year was 88 ,
when the truckies put up the barricades
round the highways interstate .
