[Verse 1]
The fuel gauge is sittin' on empty
The battery's flat on the phone
I got a rip in the tank and I'm stuck out on the Razorback Road
I'm waitin' on a mate, yeah I'm waitin' on a mate
I'm out of range in the table drain
Waitin' on a mate

[Verse 2]
Well Tom lives down by a river
He's got a winch on the front of his Ute
Well the sun's gettin' hotter
And the water bottle's just about through
I'm waitin' on a mate, waitin' on a mate

[Verse 3]
When you crack the head and you strip that thread
Waitin' on a mate
Waitin' on the road side, waitin' by the river
Waitin' on a sideline, waitin' on the weather
Waitin' for the weekend, waitin' for the game
Waitin' for your bride on your wedding day
Waitin' on a mate

[Verse 4]
I'm sittin' with the smell of the diesel
I haven't seen a soul all day
I saw a bit of dust in the distance
But it blew away
[Hook]
Yeah, I'm waitin' on a mate
Yeah, I'm waitin' on a mate

[Verse 5]
I'm flat on my back up an old goat track
Waitin' on a mate
When you're up the creek and it's lookin' bleak

[Outro]
Waitin' on a mate
(Waitin' on a mate)
Waitin' on mate
(Waitin' on a mate)
Yeah, I'm waitin' on a mate
(Waitin' on a mate)
Waitin' on a mate
