Triple J - Big Jet Plane lyrics

[Verse 1: Tuka] I grew up at the end of a long dirt road No street lights, just a couple trees You could probably see the wallabies Boundin' around in their brown fur coats Most days I'd walk the whole way home With a jig in my step, nothing but the air in my lungs Feeling my breath, singing my songs that I wrote in my head Every now and then when I look up at the sky I can see a kookaburra fly, I begin to daydream Think about my wingspan, chase the sun around the globe So everywhere I go it's summertime I wonder why people get stuck in the same place? Probably thinking ‘bout what they say Ah, f** it, take a bite of humble pie Don't you worry 'bout what they think, hey [Hook: Thelma Plum & Tuka] Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey [Verse 2: Tuka] He grew 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 down to Cape Bay You put the leg work in but you get burnt out That's why you sink piss every payday Hey, 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 I guess you've gotta wait Wait, maybe we can win the lottery? Get high by the beach, a Lana Del Rey Baby, you could follow my lead and Fly like a kite in the breeze and yo [Hook 2: Thelma Plum & Tuka] Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane Hey, hey Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane Hey, hey Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane Everywhere I go, hey, hey Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane Everywhere I go, whoa, hey, hey [Thelma Plum & Tuka] I met a lover, down by the river Ohhh, she said: "Hey mister, it's nice to meet you" Ohhh Can I hold ya, and hold you tighter? I took a seat up, she said, "Pleased to meet ya You can be my mister," so I kissed her And can I take ya, and take you higher? Not used to the needle of time We didn't even need a reason to smile Hey, hey [Hook 2: Thelma Plum & Tuka] Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane Hey, hey Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane Hey, hey Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane Everywhere I go, hey, hey Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane Everywhere I go, whoa, hey, hey
