[Verse 1]
Honey pack your bags, grab your old blue jeans
We're gonna go fishin' in a mountain stream
Well I know a little shack way up in the hills
Twenty five miles from Harrietville
In the high country
[Verse 2]
Honey you should see all the stars up there
They shine so bright through the cold night air
I'm gonna build you a fire that'll burn real hot
And I'll stay with you at the old camp hut
In the high country
[Chorus]
I've got my four-wheel drive and I'm ready to roll
I wanna go flyin' down and old dirt road
Up in the hills where the brumbies roam
This must surely be God's own
In the high country, in the high country
[Verse 3]
In the drought of 1882
The Maddisons brought the cattle through
>From Mountain Creek to the Staircase Spur
We'll follow the tracks where they pushed the herd
In the high country
[Bridge]
High country that's where I wanna be
Walkin' with you by a mountain stream
High country that's where I wanna go
Got my bags packed, I'm ready to roll
[Chorus]
I've got my four-wheel drive and I'm ready to roll
I wanna go flyin' down and old dirt road
Up in the hills where the snow gums stand
You can see forever across this land
I'm headin' for the hi - gh country
Headin' for the hi - gh country
Headin' for the high country
That's where I wanna go, High country ...
