1
Peter's a cabby on Adelaide roads
2
And in five o'clock traffic that's a hard road to hoe
3
Hunts for his family in a Holden with a two-way and meter
4
And there's no air conditioning where he plies his trade
5
On the green plate stand by the Rundle Arcade
6
Sits and he waits for the privilege of driving you home
7
And there's no Mr. Muzak in the front of his cab
8
Just a crackling voice dog-eared roadmap
9
And a torch and a biro sliding around on the dash
10
And your life's in his hand when they're gripped on the wheel
11
The water pump rattles and the Michelins squeal
12
He's been driving for years sometimes it feels like forever
13
And knows very well your city of gardens
14
He'll take you from town drop you at Marsden
15
Peak hour: five minutes, if you think that's easy just try it
16
He can change a flat tire in three minutes flat
17
Lubes his own car lying flat on his back
18
Tunes up his motor with a timing light in his ear
19
Oh you could be at Woodville, you could be at Stirling
20
Sun may be burning, fog may be swirling
21
But Peter's still driving all down that endless white line
22
Could be the morning, midday or midnight
23
He'll sell you a ride, his yellow roof light
24
Till a drag operator gives him a job to go home
