Kelly, Paul - Forty Miles To Saturday Night Lyrics
Well I rubbed the dirt all down
And I washed away six aching days
And my shoes all slick and spit
And my singlet fresh and my sideburns shaved
As I turn from the mirror
Danny brings the Bedford round
A three-ton girl with a ten-foot tray
And she knows the way to town
So we kiss goodbye to two weeks' pay
Now the leaves are shaking
And the stars are all waking from the day
Big wheel turning (turning all night)
Big light burning (burning so bright)
It's only forty miles to Saturday night!
There's a place on Fortune Street
And a band down there called Gunga Din
And Joanne from Miner's Creek
She said that she'd be back again
She lives out on the station
And she works on my imagination
Big wheel turning (turning all night)
Big light burning (burning so bright)
Downright foolish but that's alright
It's only forty miles to Saturday night!

Kelly, Paul Forty Miles To Saturday Night Comments
Thank you for everything Paul Kelly 🌻✌🏋️♂️
song was my anthem me and my brother, every fortnight busted pay checks
song was my anthem me and my brother, every fortnight busted pay checks
What is the name of the guitar he's using?
So glad to find this! Thank you
I cannot believe how this tune could be forgotten ,a true Aussie classic ,right up there with Bondys /Timtams
I miss those years too - had a hoot of a time - fruit picking, drinking, dancing, singing and all the reckless joy
This song and Lee Kernaghan's Boys From the Bush evoke more images of traditional Australian rural life than any amount of tourism ads and visits from Oprah Winfrey. You are almost riding in the ute on the way to the B&S ball as the lyrics unfold and the endless plains roll into the distance. A great evocative slice of an Australia still enjoying the afterglow of Crocodile Dundee and the Oz music boom. A true classic in all respects.
Was my anthem working across NSW in late 80s/early 90s. Miss the time, land & people. Late teens and wonderfully reckless
Awesome song Pauls best of his many greats.Living in Wales now it's great to be able to ease the homesickness by putting this great track on and going back to my days in the bush!
O remember this from OZ,where or what album can i get this track on ,a real
Aussie classic .I think it was used on a drink driving advert ,a bloke has too get his Mum drop him off after loosing his licence or was it for speed ,anybody know ,
but what a tune PAUL Kelly " ledgend "
A little known gem from the great man. A great anthem for anyone preparing for a night out in rural Australia. Who hasn't looked forward to a Saturday like this?
