this song was made for my pop Brandon that died in a truck accident, he was the transporter of the equipment for jimmy barnes's stuff ❤❤

FOR ALL THE TRUCKIES IN AUSTRALIA ❤

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, also knowing the story behind the song makes it so special. Genius slide guitar solos. Genius lyrics. Genius music.

As a Canadian living in Australia for a few years - mid 80's, I fell in love with Barnes and Cold Chisel. When I thumbed through the 'bargain bin' back in Canada, I found "Freight Train Heart" and purchased it. When I listened to it ... I was blown away!

Interstate driver here. So many posts here under 2-3 years goes to prove how great a song this is!

💚💛💚💛 2024, Still pumps. living legend

I was 9 years old when this song came out I'm 44 years old now and I still love this song. Jimmy Barnes is a true legend.

I was old enough to start driving truck in 2005 and...well...by now, all the magic just seems to be gone. No more "freedom of the highway", just more paperwork. This kind of old song, though, rekindles a tiny spark of joy again, so I keep coming back to it every few months. 🙂

This song should be included in the National Australian Anthem of the truckies. Excellent song! This song reminds me of my dad who died 14 years ago. He liked this song. Not giving up or giving in. Chasing your dreams.

After 32 years as a interstate truckie, that song is still close to my heart, Stay safe all.

Takes me back to the 80's . Best decade EVER. Cheers Jimmy

A top song for our trucking brothers,thinking of Jimmy recovery from his heart operation ❤️.

This is heaven to a truckie Especially when your going through the gears and it comes on the radio

This has always been my favourite driving song and most likely always will be. A massive thank you to all the truckies out there keeping this great country moving - without trucks, Australia stops!! 🚚 🇦🇺 🇦🇺

Legendary song. My Dad bought me Barnesy's Anthology for my 10th birthday and I've been a lifelong Chisel/Barnes fan ever since. Keep on rocking!

FOR ALL THE TRUCKIES ! GOD BLESS YOU 🙌 🙏 ❤

This is my all time favourite Jimmy Barnes song. Thank you for what you do.

This song I feel like was made not only for the truck drivers but for the trucks themselves My great uncle was a truckie and operated out of Margaret river out here in WA. But he had to stop trucking 2 years prior to this song releasing due to a terminal illness... but despite his trucking days behind him and himself long gone I am proud to say that his first truck - a 1979 Kenworth K100 flatbed - which was his favourite lives on and will do so until all things come to an end This song I feel like is especially for people like him and the trucks the beasts that roar down the roads that truly are part of the 3 major things that keep Australia going - Trucks, ships and trains- Australia wouldn’t be the same or as lively without them

Going to see Jimmy live for the first time ever this Saturday. And it will be an experience I bet!! Once in a lifetime.

Im 32 heard this song growing up i love the truckies and what they do thank you

Far out Jimmy your voice is just beyond this world mate you absolute LEGEND!

30 years later he screaaming high notes in the cloud

I played this song for a jimmy Barnes fan at work and He sang the whole song

Dedicate this to my old man, Colin King who was an interstate Truckie for 27 years, (to support wife & 5 Boys), before he passed.

what a great clip - cheers - love you Jim

Go the truckies

Great One Respect For Truckies That Know Longer Herr 4:33 4:34

Dave Lindley Gone NO !! handsdown the best pedal slide guitarist. His intro and slide throughout is everything on this song. So sad he's gone RIP Dave Lindley

Barnes is still alive. In fact, he is forming a group with the ex-drummer of the Stray Cats and they are playing rock-a-billy. (No real surprise there). Born in Scotland and moved to Australia when he was five years old. If you want to hear him at his best watch the video called Lazy. Incredible performance by him AND one of Bonnamassa's best rock songs.

First song I've heard from Jimmy over here in Sweden. Boy, this record were spinning :-) Found his catalogue, AND, after that, his history with other musicians...Ian Moss for instance. Great musicians.

Grew up with my brothers who had a band...They made me play cassettes and memorize songs from Jimmy Barnes,Johnny Farnham,Aussie Crawl and other bands of the 70s...explains my love for Golden Oldies music..

Как это больно терять друзей из-за нелепой случайности...мои молитвы с вами...❤

I'm obsessed with this song Jimmy's voice and his guitarist 😍

I love this song and the production. The drums 🥁 are powerful.

After a motocycle accident,I was in a deep,deep coma for over three months.Doctors said I was Brain dead,yes there is live on the other side.I have being there and back,making a wonderful recovery.Even if it took me twenty years.Thanks for this wonderful music,giving me strength when I needed it most.

🚚Driving Wheels 🚛 . Thanks Jimmy Barnes ❤. For dedicating this song❤ . For your sweet precious dad❤ . Every Man and Woman ❤. Who drives 18-wheelers every day of the week ❤. I Want To Thank You . For all your dedication ❤. Seeing that the load you are carrying ❤. Get delivered to their destination ❤. Drive safe and take care of your selves 💓.

Beautiful, a song dedicated to all Truckies out there. Keep em Prime Movers rollin'.

I had a very sheltered childhood, but when i bought my first cassette it was Soul Deep and that poor cassette was played 1000's times over. I love Jimmy Barnes to bits😙💜

Nothing better than listening to a Great artist!!! There will never be another the same xx

What a start. The instrumental at the begining makes me think of a big rig reving up from the depot, or in the city. then the drum and rhythm kicks in as he hits the broken lines on the highway

I did a short stint as a long-haul trucker across the U.S., but those road trains you guys drive down there in Oz sound like a new definition of a hard run. In any case, I love the song. It reminds me of the only good thing about that job: the miles themselves, the open road.

What an absolute gem this is and stays ...fabulous performer

I was 17 when this song arrived and was lucky to hear Barnsy in the 80's after the epic Cold Chisel ❤

SORRY for your loss good song all of Jimmy

This is the one song that brings be back up When I'm down , and the song that inspires me and motivates me to keep going

Well he's following the broken lines Living on borrowed time Motel rooms and broken hearts all left behind You swear he couldn't close his eyes As he shifts into overdrive He's been up and down this road so many times The man of his own And searching just keeps him proving That only the road Can tame the rebel in his soul It's the rhythm of the highway As he rolls on down And city lights as they fade from sight Drives the man behind the driving wheels Like a cowboy in a rodeo Riding hard but never letting go You'll be wand'ring through the twilight of his life Waylon Jennings on the radio Country music and engines roar Like a shooting star across a desert sky And he's got a home But it's out on the blue horizon Heaven only knows There's still a rebel in his soul It's the rhythm of the highway As he rolls on down And city lights as they fade from sight Drives the man behind the driving wheels And chasing southern lights In the distant sky And open plains with the mountains high Drives the man behind the driving wheels Well he's thought about settling down A little diner on the edge of town But in this world of push and shove He's still got freedom in his blood It's the rhythm of the highway

'Truck on and keep the engines turned on', this music is the one Im looking for. The best rock music that Jimmy Barnes has ever composed of for every trucker they listen to.

American. Friends with a Russian trucker. First time hearing this. I grew up in the age of "Convoy" and "Phantom 309" and "Eastbound and Down." This song follows the tradition with the hard drive, high energy of the 1980s. Already I love it as much as I do "Working Class Man" that I heard in the '86 movie "Gung Ho."

It was March 1988, I had been in Australia for about 4 hours and this came on MTV and I was like 'how the fuck have I never heard this guy before?' Been a massive Cold Chisel and JB fan ever since. Aussie Rock at its best.

I like to think that Barnesy is still out there, every night, screaming at truckies passing through outback towns.

Never gets old ma mate🍻💨🙋🏽

I lived in Oz when Cold Chisel and Barnsy when hot. ‘Working Class Man’ was and is one of the greatest anthems of all time. I have many happy memories of driving to work in my mates HQ Kingwood or my XY Falcon blasting out Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barney’s, the Angels and Midnight Oil. Great days sadly missed 😎.

Some say you can still hear Barnesey screaming at trucks on the Hume 🤣

For about two years, I was living the lyrics to this song as a long haul truck driver. It makes me miss that life

Still truckin Still listening 👍😎

My all time favourite artist everytime your in Oz close to where I live miss you by a week 🤦🖤💛❤️

Aussies a breed of their own ......Legends on the highway......Hero's. ....proud to be part of the history....👍

Truckies are the back bone of Australia ..Not Trains.....Legends .....Hero's. ..👍

Are you kidding me. I was 17yo when I first heard this song. I'm about to turn 52yo & I never knew this. My first boyfriend absolutely loved it & so do I. God bless x

i just stumbled over this song, how awesome !!!!!!!!! wow, JIMMY BARNES IS AMAZING

Freight Train Heart is my favourite JB LP, followed by Two Fires. Nothing better than listening to a Great artist!!! There will never be another the same xx

Good on ya Jimmy! So many great hit songs all these years.

My old man...Uncle Jorgie drove for 30 yrs on this highway .....They had a lot of stories to tell...Truck'n Life.... Legend's......

Truckies carry our Nation .... Australia....🤠....Truck'n Life.. Legend's.....

They've always been underpaid, under appreciated, overworked, targeted by police and screwed over by Work Cover. There are some bad peas in the pod but most are real heroes, saving lives along the way like my husband did before his work injury which ironically was in the yard and not out on the road. I'm still fighting WC 15 months after he died which was 3 years after his injury. There are many of us who've lost our loves to the road and not only truckies.
