|
I've travelled across the country |
|
On every beaten track |
|
From the sugar cane to the Nullabor Plain |
|
And I've been to Burke and back |
|
But there's nothing I like better |
|
Just before Australia Day |
|
Than heading down the New England Highway |
|
Got my boots on, got my hat on |
|
Got my old guitar and a new song |
|
For a week I'll be where I belong |
|
With the big stars, Golden Guitars |
|
Dream will be ours some day |
|
Cruising the New England Highway |
|
They'll be busking down on Peel Street |
|
Looking for a lucky break |
|
There's the chook man and the one man band |
|
And Slim Dusty's in the Cavalcade |
|
There's nothing I like better |
|
Just before Australia Day |
|
Than heading down the New England Highway |
