Looking down an empty road
To Lockhart town
A heavy load behind me
It's draggin' on
I'm leavin' on the midnight bus
To West Wyalong
And don't care much about it
I got to go
Outside it's sunrise again
That's right
So won't you say you oughta be
In a sunny car
In sunny Coleambaily with me, babe
I wanna know
'Coz I'm sittin' down
Upon a train
To Shepparton and back again
And I just wanna get home
Outside it's sunrise
Mist on the road
Driving to Bright again
Drive again
Drive again
