D Dmaj7
It's a corrugated highway leading north from Port Augusta lined
Bm G Bm A
With ratted cars that didn't rate a tow
D Bm
Salt plains out of Pimba and your eyes begin to stream
G C A
Onto Kingoonya, huddled dusty by the road
D Dmaj7
Romantic notions shattered like the tyres that didn't hack it
Bm G Bm A
This has got to be the countries last frontier
D Bm
Where a sports cars next to useless, running cattle grids and river beds
G C A
We drove a van from 1963
G A D G
Someone mentioned walkabout, kiss your job goodbye
D A
Just to see the country shimmer through the windscreen
G A D G
Drinking beer telling stories while laughter filled the night
D A G A D A
Flexitime's behind you like a bad dream
D Dmaj7
Got a flat on ANZAC highway and Lawson on your shelf
Bm G Bm A
It's a southern comfort air-conditioned rage
D Bm
Where a homesteads more than just a cheap print dangling from a wall
G C A
And mateship's more than lines upon a page
G A D G
We went looking for Australia inbetween the TV lines
D A
'Cause the ABC just couldn't make it real
G A D G
A colour documentary from a beanbag on the floor
D A G A D A
Never shows as much as it conceals
D Dmaj7
Stark and blistered Alice Springs and a river runs with shame
Bm G Bm A
And you wipe the sheets of bulldust from your eyes
D Bm
Another countries uniform, mirage it falls apart
G C A
To the open gap between the truth and lies
G A D G
Go and see your country mate, travel agents scream
D A
Politicians sell its heart just for a pastime
G A D G
Signs and highwire fences of a land where I belong
D A
It's as if I'm in the outback for the last time
G A D A
For the last time uh-huh
G A D A
For the last time uh-huh
G A D A
For the last time uh-huh
G A D A
For the last time uh-huh
