This song was written by Tony King & David Bates in 1986 for the Samuel Pepys Radio Show.

lyrics

Well the life of a truckie’s not easy
And I’d just about run out of steam
When one day at a truck stop through a halo of blowies
I spotted the girl of my dreams
Well she smiled as she wiped off my dip stick
And my heart seemed to slip out of gear
Her hair was tied back with an octopus strap
And a piston ring gleamed from each ear
Well she wiped her hands clean on her stubbies
And she balanced a fag on her lip
My eyes went all steamy as I took off my beenie
And started to let these words slip

I’ve got a wheel in the pothole of your love
I’ve got a wheel in the pothole of your love
And I wish that for every truck I’d rolled
I’d rolled all over you
I’ve got a wheel in the pothole of your love

Just as my words started flowing
An air horn from one of the boys
Came thundering in
With a God awful din
And the moment was lost in the noise
We èll she tightened the ropes on my rig
And she fixed a few leaks underneath
We said our goodbyes as she threw on new tyres
And tightened the nuts with her teeth

I’ve got a wheel in the pothole of your love
I’ve got a wheel in the pothole of your love
And I wish that for every truck I’d rolled
I’d rolled all over you
I’ve got a wheel in the pothole of your love

Ten wheels each side of the yellow lines
I’m driving asleep in the rain
I dream of that girl with the octopus curl
And swallow some pills for the pain
And I pray that one day I will meet her
When I get to where the road ends
Meanwhile I hope that this load of cattle
Will lean the right way on the bends
Hell of a mess if they don’t Moooooo

I’ve got a wheel in the pothole of your love
I’ve got a wheel in the pothole of your love
And I wish that for every truck I’d rolled
I’d rolled all over you
I’ve got a wheel in the pothole of your love

about

Beautifully Mad Sydney, Australia

Breathtaking original music reminiscent of the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz
