The Outback Lyrics

She's dry and dusty in the summer heat

Not a patch of grass anywhere to be seen

Not a drop of rain for months on end

Just a parched dry and dusty land

But the rivers runnin

Fast and deep

Starts with rain in the hills

As a tiny stream

It's a place of solace

A place of peace

It's long and winding banks spread out

As the land around is suffering drought

We need some rain to break its back

And green up the land in the vast outback

Cattle in dry paddocks

Kickin up the dust

No choice but to buy feed

To survive it's a must

There's no pasture

To feed the stock

Just dry dirt that's as hard as rock

But the rivers runnin

Fast and deep

Starts with rain in the hills

As a tiny stream

It's a place of solace

A place of peace

It's long and winding banks spread out

As the land around is suffering drought

We need some rain to break its back

And green up the land in the vast outback

I can see the dust rise in a distant cloud

As the farmer goes out to feed his cows

Hoping rain'll soon break the drought

The cattle's lookin thin

The dams dry as hell

The land needs some good rain

To break this hot dry dusty spell

Now there's thunder and lightning

Rains pouring down

Its soaking deep into the ground

Giving life to the dry land again

Yeah the rivers runnin

Fast and deep

Starts with rain in the hills

As a tiny stream

It's a place of solace

A place of peace

It's long and winding banks spread out

As the land around is suffering drought

We finally got some rain to break its back

And green up the land in the vast outback

Oh yeah green up the land in the vast Outback
