Broke down at a truck stop   Got wet sweat under a hard top   Wrong directions are shown   Threw up in the men’s room      Shotguns freckle the road signs   Wind burns ‘cross the white line   So much nothing is grown   Finished our fifth six pack   This is not the way home      Left early without payin’ the bill   Hitch-hiked back to Broken Hill   Left my wallet somewhere   Wrong directions are shown   This is not the way home      Broke down at a truck stop   Got wet sweat under a hard top   Wrong directions are shown again   Threw up in the men’s shithouse   This is not the way home
