Backroad Nation
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
It's a backroad nation
It's a backroad nation
