I grew up at the end of a long dirt road
No street lights just a couple trees
You can probably see the Wallabies bounding around in the brown fur coats
Most of the days I walk the whole way home with the jig in my step
Nothing but the air in my lungs filling my breath
Singing my songs that I wrote in my head
Every now and then when I look up in the sky
I can see kookaburra fly
I’ll begin to daydream think about my wingspan
Sore around the globe so everywhere I go it’s the summertime
I wonder why people get stuck in the same place
Got me thinking about what they’d say
Ah f** it, take a bite of humble pie don’t you worry about that’d think
Gonna take you for a on a ride on a big Jet plane
Gonna take you for a on a ride on a big Jet plane
You grow 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 and the Cape Bay
You put the leg work in but you get burnt out that’s why you sink piss every payday
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 ? cause you gotta wait
Maybe we can win the lottery
Get high by the beach a Lana Del Ray
Baby you can follow my lead
And fly like a kite in the breeze
Gonna take you for a ride on my big Jet plane
Gonna take you for a ride on my big Jet plane
Gonna take you for a ride in my big Jet plane everywhere I go
Gonna take you for a ride in my big Jet plane everywhere I go
???
Down by the river
She said
“hey mister, nice to meet you”
Can I hold ya, hold you tighter
I took a ? ? she said pleased to meet ya you can be my mister
So I kissed her
Can I take you, take you higher
?? a needle of time
Don’t need a reason to smile
Gonna take you for a ride on my big Jet plane
Gonna take you for a ride on my big Jet plane
Gonna take you for a ride in my big Jet plane everywhere I go
Gonna take you for a ride in my big Jet plane everywhere I go
