Down Under

lyrics Packed my old guitar and a map with a crease Left the city noise for the southern seas Red dust rising where the highway bends Every mile feels like the start of something again The sun drops low, the sky burns gold A wild new story’s waiting to unfold I’m moving down under, where the wide roads run Past the gum trees reaching for the blazing sun Kangaroos kick up the dust as they race through the night Australia’s calling, and I’m answering tonight Hey! Down under, let the whole world roll New horizon, new heart, new soul Woke to kookaburras laughing in the dawn Coffee by the coast with my boots still on Saw a roo stand tall by the edge of the track I waved hello—didn’t expect one back The ocean roars, the red earth glows There’s room to breathe wherever the wild wind blows I’m moving down under, where the wide roads run Past the gum trees reaching for the blazing sun Kangaroos kick up the dust as they race through the night Australia’s calling, and I’m answering tonight Hey! Down under, let the whole world roll New horizon, new heart, new soul From the Outback stars to the harbor lights From the desert heat to the cool blue nights I don’t know where this road will end But I’ve found a place where the wild feels like a friend I’m moving down under, where the wide roads run Past the gum trees reaching for the blazing sun Kangaroos kick up the dust as they race through the night Australia’s calling, and I’m answering tonight Hey! Down under, let the whole world roll New horizon, new heart, new soul Down under—hear the wild wind call! Down under—I’m giving it all! Red dust, blue sky, stars overhead A brand-new road beneath my feet Down under, down under That’s where I’m meant to be
