=======================================================
When you're rolling down for Townsville
In the middle of the night
There's a welcome stop for truckies
where the lights are burnin' bright
It's a place called Neon City on that lonely southern run
Just twenty miles to nowhere
On old highway Thirty one
They say you just can't miss it mate
The neons dance and swim
and the tang of truckies tucker mate
It's bound to drag you in
It's a no thrills kind of waterhole
that welcomes everyone
Just twenty miles to nowhere
On old highway thirty on
And there's Aussie country music playing
that's a welcome change
and the bloke who runs the joint is
strangely known as Uncle Sam
And football games are straightened out
and many races run
Just twenty miles to nowhere
On old highway Thirty one
And when the rigs run out with coloured lights all round the hood
The driver knows he'll make it 'cause he's feelin' pretty good
So here's to Sam and all the team
and all the jokes they've spun
Just twenty miles to nowhere
On old highway Thirty one
And they're rollin' south and headin' north
It's such a powerful sight
Like ships out on the highway
Hey, they're sailing through the night
Neon City beams it's light to welcome everyone
Just twenty miles to nowhere
On old highway Thirty one
And there's Aussie country music playing
that's a welcome change
and the bloke who runs the joint is
strangely known as Uncle Sam
And his steaks are big and juicy
and he likes his beer and rum
Just twenty miles to nowhere
On old highway Thirty one
Where the hell is Neon City
I cannot tell a lie
It's twenty miles to nowhere
On the road to Gundagai
and there's Neon Cities everywhere
This song is of just one
Just twenty miles to nowhere
On old highway Thirty one
There'e kangaroos and soup and stews
and bandicoot and snakes
and I'm pretty sure she'll never be
a bar that has no steak
Oh there's ham and eggs and country toast
The coffee's good and strong
Just twenty miles to nowhere
On old highway Thirty one
And there's Aussie country music playing
that's a welcome change
and the bloke who runs the joint is
strangely known as Uncle Sam
And football games are straightened out
and many races run
Just twenty miles to nowhere
On old highway Thirty one
On old highway Thirty one
On old highway Thirty one
