Road Trip
Well the city's just waking as I slice through the dawn
On an empty suburban street
I got my life piled high on the back of a bike
And no timetable to keep
I gotta find myself on an open road
And let the wind get in my head
And those shrieking voices fade away
As the country pushes in
Well the shivers go and the traffic slows
And the sun shines on my back
It's 9am and rising
As I carve my way up Cunningham's gap
The rainforest parts and the road opens up
As I head into the downs
And the distance gives me time to think
As I mark off all those country towns
The road stretches far as the eye can see
Well it stretches far as the eye can see
The road stretches far as the eye can see
Well it stretches far as the eye can see
I got petrol fumes and some dirty tunes
Along to accompany me
Well me and Tom we're 'Goin Out West'
To find some serenity
I had a night on the tiles in a pub in Miles
With some shearers from SA
But I got outta there before it got outta hand
And their hands didn't come my way
Well 500ks about right for a day
If you plan to stay in one piece
And every pub every RSL club
Begins to look the same to me
Well my skin is dry and my eyes cry tears
The vibrations killing me
And the red dirt's in my ears and eyes
And it's as far as the eye can see
The road stretches far as the eye can see
Well it stretches far as the eye can see
The road stretches far as the eye can see
Well it stretches far
On an empty suburban street
I got my life piled high on the back of a bike
And no timetable to keep
I gotta find myself on an open road
And let the wind get in my head
And those shrieking voices fade away
As the country pushes in
Well the shivers go and the traffic slows
And the sun shines on my back
It's 9am and rising
As I carve my way up Cunningham's gap
The rainforest parts and the road opens up
As I head into the downs
And the distance gives me time to think
As I mark off all those country towns
The road stretches far as the eye can see
Well it stretches far as the eye can see
The road stretches far as the eye can see
Well it stretches far as the eye can see
I got petrol fumes and some dirty tunes
Along to accompany me
Well me and Tom we're 'Goin Out West'
To find some serenity
I had a night on the tiles in a pub in Miles
With some shearers from SA
But I got outta there before it got outta hand
And their hands didn't come my way
Well 500ks about right for a day
If you plan to stay in one piece
And every pub every RSL club
Begins to look the same to me
Well my skin is dry and my eyes cry tears
The vibrations killing me
And the red dirt's in my ears and eyes
And it's as far as the eye can see
The road stretches far as the eye can see
Well it stretches far as the eye can see
The road stretches far as the eye can see
Well it stretches far
