Lyric discussion by Clarkers 

Its about much more than Hornsby. He's a truck driver and the "houndog" is his rig. His truck breaks down and he has to look for alternative transport for his cargo of circus animals. eventually he gets the truck fixed and he continues his journey up the coast of nsw. he's been driving for 10 years and he's tired of it and he dreams of another life travelling through asia. Its interesting that this song contains the only reference to "circus animals" the name of the album. can anyone explain this?
