| I grew up at the end of a long dirt road
|
| No street lights, just a couple trees
|
| You could probably see the wallabies
|
| Bounding around in their brown fur coats
|
| Most days walked the whole way home
|
| With a jig in my step, nothing but the air in my lungs
|
| Feeling my breath, singing my songs that I wrote in my head
|
| Every now and then when I look up at the sky
|
| I can see a kookaburra fly, I begin to daydream
|
| Think about my wingspan, chase the sun around the globe
|
| So everywhere I go it’s summertime
|
| I wonder why people get stuck in the same place?
|
| Probably thinking ‘bout what they say
|
| Ah, fuck it, take a bite of humble pie
|
| Don’t you worry 'bout what they think, hey
|
| Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
|
| Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
|
| Hey, hey
|
| Hey, hey
|
| Hey, hey
|
| You grew up in the land of the red dirt
|
| Where the yellow sand meets the fresh surf
|
| Where the black history can respect earth
|
| But the politicians only think about its net worth
|
| From East Sydney to West Perth
|
| Top End down to Cape Bay
|
| You put the leg work in but you get burnt out
|
| That’s why you sink piss every payday
|
| Hey, have you ever gone away?
|
| Do you ever think about a holiday?
|
| Are you in the business of making money?
|
| If you haven’t got a dollar then I guess you’ve gotta wait
|
| Wait, maybe we can win the lottery?
|
| Get high by the beach, a Lana Del Rey
|
| Baby, you could follow my lead, get
|
| Fly like a kite in the breeze and yo
|
| Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
|
| Hey, hey
|
| Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
|
| Hey, hey
|
| Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
|
| Everywhere I go, hey, hey
|
| Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
|
| Everywhere I go, whoa, hey, hey
|
| I met a lover, down by the river
|
| Ohhh, she said:
|
| «Hey mister, it’s nice to meet you»
|
| Ohhh
|
| Can I hold ya, and hold you tighter?
|
| I took a seat up, she said, «Pleased to meet ya
|
| You can be my mister,» so I kissed her
|
| And can I take ya, and take you higher?
|
| Not used to the needle of time
|
| We didn’t even need a reason to smile
|
| Hey, hey
|
| Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
|
| Hey, hey
|
| Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
|
| Hey, hey
|
| Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
|
| Everywhere I go, hey, hey
|
| Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
|
| Everywhere I go, whoa, hey, hey |
