The Trucks Came Through
[Verse 1]
The dams had all run dry, empty clouds across the sky
And the breeding stock had left, the paddocks bare
There was dust across the land, we were feeding stock by hand
Just holdin' on and nothin' left to spare

[Chorus]
And the trucks came through, one then two
Then an army close behind, gettin' hope across the line
The big wheels roll, bales of gold
An answer to a prayer to see 'em there
The trucks came through

[Verse 2]
From the big and little towns, from the north and from the south
Loaded up and givin' what they can
And they spent days out on the road, just haulin' in the load
For mates we never we had

[Chorus]
Yeah, the trucks came through, one then two
Then an army close behind, gettin' hope across the line
The big wheels roll, bales of gold
An answer to a prayer to see 'em there
The trucks came through
[Verse 3]
And when these days are done
And the rivers run
We won't forget

[Chorus]
The trucks came through, one then two
Then an army close behind, gettin' hope across the line
The big wheels roll, bales of gold
An answer to a prayer to see 'em there
Oh, the trucks came through

[Outro]
Yeah, the trucks came through

Yeah, the trucks came through
