australia's outback hero - reg poole lyrics

[verse 1]
akubra, shades, his sweaty smile
only shade for a country mile
lord knows the scorpions wear hats round these parts
leather boots, nearly dyin’ of thirst
golden rule is, first things first
gotta bust a gut before the sun goes down

[verse 2]
it’s fifteen miles to his front gate
and fifty more to his nearest mate
and a hundred miles to the local general store
still, the moon’s as close as to anyone
city, town or station run
but the sun’s a darn sight closer, that’s for sure

[chorus]
up with the dawn and back when the sun is sinkin’
there is no scorn in the outback bushman’s thinkin’
if you lovе the life and the land whеre water’s gold
australia’s heart is branded on your soul

[guitar solos]

[verse 3]
this bushman’s wife has chosen him
deliberate choice, not foolish whim
’cause she’s gotta hold the whole d*mn thing together
when the tough times come in the leaner years
and his sunburnt face can’t hide the tears
her strength and love will calm the stormy weather
[verse 4]
governed by the four strong winds
mercy’s will or his human sins
he’ll never know and probably don’t much care
still, akubra firm upon his head
and his thirsty boots a dusty red
as the sun comes up, he’ll say his quiet prayer

[chorus]
australia’s outback hero’s comin’ through
australia’s unsung hero’s paid his due
he loves the life in the land where water’s gold
australia’s heart is branded on his soul

[outro]
australia’s heart is branded on his soul
