Drive my truck midway to the motorway station
Fairlane cruiser coming up on the left hand side
Headlight shining, driving rain on the window frame
Little young Lady Stardust hitching a ride... and it's
2-4-6-8 ain't never too late
Me and my radio truckin' on thru the night
3-5-7-9 on a double white line
Motorway sun coming up with the morning light
Whizzkid sitting pretty on your two-wheel stallion
This ol' ten-ton lorry got a bead on you
Ain't no use setting up with a bad companion
Ain't nobody get the better of you-know-who
2-4-6-8 ain't never too late
Me and my radio truckin' on thru the night
3-5-7-9 on a double white line
Motorway sun coming up with the morning light
Well there ain't no route you could 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 home on the road I'm on...
2-4-6-8 ain't never too late
Me and my radio truckin' on thru the night
3-5-7-9 on a double white line
Motorway sun coming up with the morning light

Lots of people in the punk community hated poor Tom because He was for gay rights, with songs like "Glad To Be Gay". I think Stiff Records even called his work "fa*g music". Either way, this is a insanely catchy song.

It's about a gay caballero -- a lonely, unpartnered gay caballero, dreaming of romance and tenderness and finding his Heart's True Hero -- driving in a truck looking for a "Zorro" to spend his life with -- or at least a bit of "sword"

I think it's about feeling free on the open road when people in the real world are judging you "Ain't nobody know when you're acting right or wrong"

Simply one of the best driving songs ever recorded. Cranking this up when you get out of the city, on the open road, feels like nothing else!
