  • Drive my truck midway to the motorway station
    Fair-lane cruiser coming up on the left hand side
    Headlights shining, driving rain on the window frame
    Little young lady stardust hitching a ride

    And it's two, four, six, eight, never too late
    Me and my radio trucking on through the night
    Three, five, seven, nine, on a little white line
    Motorway sun coming up with the morning light

    Whizz-kid sitting pretty on your two wheels stallion
    This old ten ton lorry got a bead on you
    Ain't no use setting up with a bad companion
    Ain't nobody got the better of you know who

    Two, four, six, eight, never too late
    Me and my radio trucking on through the night
    Three, five, seven, nine, on a little white line
    Single motorway sun coming up with the morning light

    Well, there ain't no route you can choose to lose the two of us
    Ain't nobody know when you're acting right or wrong
    No one knows if a roadway's leading nowhere
    Gonna keep on driving on the road I'm on

    And it's two, four, six, eight, never too late
    Just me and my radio trucking on through the night
    Three, five, seven, nine, on a little white line
    Motorway sun coming up with the morning light

    Two, four, six, eight, never too late
    Me and my radio trucking on through the night
    Three, five, seven, nine, on a little white line
    Motorway sun coming up with the morning light
    Motorway sun coming up with the morning light
    That's it, motorway sun coming up with the morning light

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, say, two, four, six, eight, never too late
    Just me and my radio trucking on through the night
    Three, five, seven, nine, on a little white line
    Motorway sun coming up with the morning light

    And two, four, six, eight, never too late
    Me and my radio trucking on through the night Writer/s: TOM ROBINSON
