Waiting On A Mate

(Album: Backroad Nation - 2019)

The fuel gauge is sitting on empty
The battery's flat on the phone
I got a rip in the tank and I'm stuck out on the Razorback Road
I'm waiting on a mate, yeah I'm waiting on a mate
I'm out of range in the table drain
Waiting on a mate

Well Tom lives down by a river
He's got a winch on the front of his Ute
Well the sun's getting hotter
And the water bottle's just about through
I'm waiting on a mate, waiting on a mate

When you crack the head and you strip that thread
Waiting on a mate
Waiting on the road side, waiting by the river
Waiting on a sideline, waiting on the weather
Waiting for the weekend, waiting for the game
Waiting for your bride on your wedding day
Waiting on a mate

I'm sitting with the smell of the diesel
I haven't seen a soul all day
I saw a bit of dust in the distance
But it blew away

Yeah, I'm waiting on a mate
Yeah, I'm waiting on a mate

I'm flat on my back up an old goat track
Waiting on a mate
When you're up the creek and it's looking bleak

Waiting on a mate
(Waiting on a mate)
Waiting on mate
(Waiting on a mate)
Yeah, I'm waiting on a mate
(Waiting on a mate)
Waiting on a mate
