Intro I was born in a hat town Raised on the warago It's hot out here but you tough it out Like and old Brigalow From the back of the channelled country Across the western plains The roads are straight and dusty And the folks are much the same Chorus: Roots run strong and deep out here in a hat town And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town Well fight the dark and end up, like the barky downs Theres a pub an store and not much more, you're living in an old hat town Stock are Rollin in the heat hays, half mile 60 zone Just a rag tag bunch of buildings made of wood and tin and stone
Theres a swag with stories, most of them are true Have the locals' pa** the hat around and pull each other through Chorus Instrumental Well were out about and drover's, bushies tride and trudies And were out her for the long haul not just blowin through Roots run strong and deep out here in a hat town And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town From the back of the channelled country, and across the dusty downs Theres a pub a store and not much more, you're living in an old hat town Odelay heeeee Livin in a hat town Livin in an old hat town Odelay heeeee
