From the recording My Life And Loves
I lived in nine towns all throughout Western Australia growing up because my father worked for Australia Post. There is so much of this great country I have seen and so much more I want to see.
Lyrics
City streets they're always loud
Traffic jams I'm lost in the crowd
Life's a race gotta keep the pace
But every Friday I know my place
Windows down I'm breaking free
The open road's where I need to be
I'm a country boy in a city crowd
Dreaming of the trees where the wild winds howl
Each weekend's my getaway plan
Camping out where I can be a free man
Stars above breathing in that air
A little piece of heaven waiting out there
Skyscrapers fade as I hit the road
Wilderness calls and it lifts the load
Scenery changes as the sun sinks low
Out where the rivers and wildflowers grow
Windows down I'm chasing peace
The city fades and my heart's at ease
I'm a country boy in a city crowd
Dreaming of the trees where the wild winds howl
Each weekend's my getaway plan
Camping out where I can be a free man
Stars above breathing in that air
A little piece of heaven waiting out there
In the city life's just too fast
But under the stars I find my past
The sounds of nature they calm my soul
It's where I feel complete and whole
I'm a country boy in a city crowd
Dreaming of the trees where the wild winds howl
Each weekend's my getaway plan
Camping out where I can be a free man
Stars above breathing in that air
A little piece of heaven waiting out there
