My Country

I'm leaving this damn town mate i am free
Guitar strapped to my back it's all i need
And the sun is melting down across the sea
And the rolling fields are in front of me
And the wind it's blowing strong and forcefully
In my country

I'm dodging cows and Roo's across the road
It's so dammed straight 110 feels slow
And the road train ahead takes a bloody age
And it whistles by without a chance to wave
Now ant hills are all that i can see
In my country

Waltzing Matildas gone. Left his swag at the Billabong
Where can i find my Coolabah Tree? Just for me
In my country

I just passed Palmer River, I'm headin north
The Lions Den it will be my reward
It's a little piece of our history
Where Captain Cook came in from the sea
But was that really all that good
For this country

A pen scribbles across a dusty page
I'm glowing red hot, but not with rage
You see i spent a little too much time in the sun
And the barman said mate that was your last one
So i'll roll out my swag and try to sleep
In my country

Waltzing Matildas gone. Left his swag at the Billabong
Where can i find my Coolabah Tree? Just for me
In my country

I'm heading south till i reach Byron Bay
The land of milk and honey, some say
And i got a little stoned with a girl from Nice
And we took a French walk along the beach
While dolphins were swimming in the sea
In my country

Sitting round the fire with my guitar
Staring at the flames and at the stars
Thinking bout all that i have seen
Australia, she's here for me
I know i don't ever wanna leave
My country

Waltzing Matildas gone. Left his swag at the Billabong
Where can i find a billy & some tea? Just for me

Waltzing Matildas gone. Left his swag at the Billabong
Where can i find my Coolabah Tree? Just for me
In my country
