My Country Side Songtext

von Warumpi Band

Well Dan was a man
He'd grown up on the land
Till he left
For another way of life
He got a plum job
Saved a few bob
Set himself up with a city bride

Well they dressed up flash
And they hit all the traps
But he knew he wasn't satisfied
Told his wife one day
I'll have to go away
I can't change my countryside

Cause there's a shack on the flat and it's a way outback
Where a campfire's burning bright
If you come with me
I'll show you how to be
At home in the countryside

Now Farmer Brown
Left for the town
Cause the drought and the costs had crippled him
Well it's hard to adjust
But you can if you must
That's what he told his country friends
But even then his life felt thin
He knew he wasn't satisfied
Closed his eyes at night
Hoping that he might
Wake up in the countryside

Cause there's a shack on the flat and it's a way outback
Where a campfire's burning bright
If you come with me
I'll show you how to be
At home in the countryside

At home in the countryside

All right!

Even then his life felt thin
He knew he wasn't satisfied
Closed his eyes at night
Hoping that he might
Wake up in the countryside

Cause there's a shack on the flat and it's a way outback
Where a campfire's burning bright
If you come with me
I'll show you how to be
At home in the countryside

Well the moon's off the ridge
Over a creek bed camp
The gumtrees are calling me tonight
There's a place I know
Where we all will go
When we're back in the countryside

When we're back... in the countryside
