Losin' My Country Blues

[Verse]

Sunrise paints the outback gold, a lonesome stretch of road,

Dusty trails and kangaroo tails, where my story's often told.

Ute's parked by the billabong, with memories I can't refuse,

Here in this land where I belong, I'm losin' my country blues.

[Verse]

Crickets sing the twilight hymn, beneath the Southern Cross,

Billie's fire and a tinny hymn, countin' gain and loss.

Stars align in a silent dance, as I remember you,

In the hush of the outback, I'm losin' my country blues.

[Chorus]

Lost in echoes of old yarns, 'bout shearin' and long rides,

Fences stretchin' open arms, 'cross the endless countryside.

Though the pain still lingers on, the heartache's startin' to lose,

In the arms of the outback strong, I'm losin' my country blues.

[Verse]

Monday mornin's early sigh, workin' 'neath the sun,

Livin' free beneath the sky, where the rivers run.

Life's carved in ochre lines, painted by the muse,

On this ancient canvas wide, I'm losin' my country blues.

[Bridge]

Ghost towns whisper in the dark, tales of days long gone,

Where every road, like a pilgrim's mark, leads me on and on.

In every verse, a chapter closed, a heart that dared to choose,

Here in the red earth's hold, I'm losin' my country blues.

[Chorus]

Lost in echoes of old yarns, 'bout shearin' and long rides,

Fences stretchin' open arms, 'cross the endless countryside.

Though the pain still lingers on, the heartache's startin' to lose,

In the arms of the outback strong, I'm losin' my country blues.
