Eight-Ton Toyota

Verse 1

Six years on the same concrete floor

Same swing shift same flickering door

Boss man's got a new young crew

Tells me my back's gonna give out soon

But every morning when the horn goes beep

I slide that seat back and I'm in too deep

Pre-Chorus

Should hand in my notice

Should pack up my toolbox

But my hands know the levers

And my heart knows the way

Chorus

I wanna walk away I wanna start again

But I just fucking love driving a forklift

Four wheels on the floor and the pallets lift

Yeah I just fucking love driving a forklift

Clock in clock out and I'm still here

Yeah I just fucking love driving a forklift

Verse 2

Mate from school's got a desk uptown

Chasing commissions while the sun goes down

Told me the money's triple my rate

Said think about your future man it's getting late

But I'm up high with a perfect view

Of a thousand boxes stacked in twos

Pre-Chorus

Should take that promotion

Should wear that clean shirt

But the diesel smell's familiar

Like an old familiar hymn

Chorus

I wanna walk away I wanna start again

But I just fucking love driving a forklift

Four wheels on the floor and the pallets lift

Yeah I just fucking love driving a forklift

Clock in clock out and I'm still here

Yeah I just fucking love driving a forklift

Bridge

Maybe one day I'll hand in my keys

Maybe one day I'll move overseas

But right now the warehouse calls my name

And honestly it's not a losing game

Eight-ton Toyota

She never lets me down

Eight-ton Toyota

Best mate in this town

Chorus

I wanna walk away I wanna start again

But I just fucking love driving a forklift

Four wheels on the floor and the pallets lift

Yeah I just fucking love driving a forklift

Clock in clock out and I'm still here

Yeah I just fucking love driving a forklift
