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
