Outback Blues

[Verse]

He woke up with a croak in his throat

A kangaroo court in his head afloat

Sunrise biting like a dingo's might

Flu hit hard like a bar room fight

[Verse 2]

Noonday heat pounding on his door

Stumbled out felt the fever roar

Made it to the loo with a tragic blunder

Echoes of his guts began to thunder

[Chorus]

Oh the outback blues they got him good

Sweatin' in the shade where a gumtree stood

Flies buzzin' round with a wicked song

Outback blues all day long

[Verse 3]

Laid on the sofa with a dusty sigh

Dreamin' of a time he'd want to fly

A boomerang spinning in his fevered mind

Hoping for a breeze he couldn't find

[Bridge]

Water ran thin from the rain tank low

Knew he had to fight this desert show

A kookaburra laughin' at his plight

Outback blues they hold on tight

[Chorus]

Oh the outback blues they got him good

Sweatin' in the shade where a gumtree stood

Flies buzzin' round with a wicked song

Outback blues all day long

[Bridge]

Water ran thin from the rain tank low

Knew he had to fight this desert show

A kookaburra laughin' at his plight

Outback blues they hold on tight

Outback blues all day long
