Backroad Nation

It’s road train dust on a Bulloo track
It’s canefields getting lit
It’s combine lights before the dawn
It’s an Uluru sunset
It’s forty thousand years of dreaming
The heartland keeps on beating
That’s us flying down an old dirt road
That’s us driving through fields of gold
Getting high on a country station
Rollin' through this backroad nation
That’s us and I got you next to me
Right here is where I wanna be
We got a good vibration
Livin' in this backroad nation
It’s wild and free it’s a saltbush sea
It’s pink galahs in flight
It’s out of town it’s a tailgate down
It’s a campfire in the night
A way of life, it’s the life we’re living
As long as this big world keeps spinning
That’s us flying down an old dirt road
That’s us driving through fields of gold
Getting high on a country station
Rollin' through this backroad nation
That’s us and I got you next to me
Right here is where I wanna be
We got a good vibration
Livin' in this backroad nation
It’s unsung towns and ancient ground
A road that never ends
It’s the homeland song that when you’re gone
Calls you home again
That’s us flying down an old dirt road
That’s us driving through fields of gold
Getting high on a country station
Rollin' through this backroad nation
That’s us and I got you next to me
Right here is where I wanna be
We got a good vibration
Livin' in this backroad nation
It’s a backroad nation
It’s a backroad nation
