A Truckin' Love Song

(B. Birkefeld)

I saw her standing in the corner
Looking calm and self-contained under the lights
She was sleek and dark and had a spark that caught me
And I knew I had to maker her mine that night

She had sixteen gears, thirty two wheels and a sleep cab
Twelve headlights and an aerial ten foot long
Her name was Mack but I called her Belle
Pretty as a peach and fast as hell
My love for her was something mighty strong

My thoughts for her were of complete possession
I wanted her to partner me in life
I said the Melbourne run was kind of fun
And our long road had just begun
I was then I went and made that truck my wife

She had sixteen gears, thirty two wheels and a sleep cab
Twelve headlights and an aerial ten foot long
Her name was Mack but I called her Belle
Pretty as a peach and fast as hell
My love for her was something mighty strong

Our marriage took place outside the chapel
It was double-booked that day they set aside
A mechanic named Al performed the ceremony
And I drove my diesel-powered wife with pride

She had sixteen gears, thirty two wheels and a sleep cab
Twelve headlights and an aerial ten foot long
Her name was Mack but I called her Belle
Pretty as a peach and fast as hell
My love for her was something mighty strong.
