Kasey Chambers - Nullarbor / The Biggest Backyard lyrics

When I was a little girl I had the biggest backyard in the world It went on for miles and miles, was wide as it was high Down to the horizon, all the way up to the sky And every now and then I heard a vile tree cry my name When I was a little girl I had the biggest backyard in the world Covered up with red dirt as far as I could see I shared it with the railway and the Aborigines Southwest of Adelaide All the way down to the sea and back When I was a little girl I had the biggest backyard in the world The sun would shine until the day I asked for it to rain Countdown the sleeps until the tea and sugar train Ten cents on the track for days Before it never came and went When I was a little girl I had the biggest backyard in the world Sitting 'round the campfire that started from a spark Rolling down the Gun Barrel Highway in the dark Making sure that I had all the room here in my house For me and all of the world When I was a little girl I had the biggest backyard in the world
