       [Verse] 
       
      Woke up with a jolt today 
       
      Dreamin’ 'bout a better way 
       
      But my car was all kaput 
       
      Like a roo that's lost its foot 
       
      [Verse] 
       
      Tried to start it but no luck 
       
      Engine's gone it's out of pluck 
       
      Hitched a ride with kangaroo 
       
      Now I’m late what can I do 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Outback breakdown on my mind 
       
      Car’s cacti I'll hitch a ride 
       
      Daft old clunker left behind 
       
      Work's a trek but I'll survive 
       
      [Verse] 
       
      Boss is shoutin' down the phone 
       
      Mate I'm stranded all alone 
       
      Walkin' miles hear that growl 
       
      Dingo's eyeing me with a scowl 
       
      [Verse] 
       
      Flip-flops slappin’ desert ground 
       
      Sweatin’ bullets not a sound 
       
      Outback sun it smacks my face 
       
      Lost in red this scorching place 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Outback breakdown on my mind 
       
      Car’s cacti I'll hitch a ride 
       
      Daft old clunker left behind 
       
      Work's a trek but I'll survive [Verse] 
       
      Boss is shoutin' down the phone 
       
      Mate I'm stranded all alone 
       
      Walkin' miles hear that growl 
       
      Dingo's eyeing me with a scowl 
       
      [Verse] 
       
      Flip-flops slappin’ desert ground 
       
      Sweatin’ bullets not a sound 
       
      Outback sun it smacks my face 
       
      Lost in red this scorching place [Chorus] 
       
      Outback breakdown on my mind 
       
      Car’s cacti I'll hitch a ride 
       
      Daft old clunker left behind 
       
      Work's a trek but I'll survive I'll survive 
      I'll survive I'll survive  |
