Lyrics

Well when I was a child
My mother told me son
Don't succumb to fan or fair
Or wait for your day to come
Dad drank like a fish
Watchin' Geronimo
On the coach with his belly out
In a cloud of Richmond smoke
We snuck around the back
By the light of the TV glow
Tell me where are we going and when can we leave
Take your brothers car I'll drive for free
The pylon eyes are comin' round
On the day of the big
Day of the Big Sundown
I worked all summer saving
Up to fly the nest
I was cutting grass in the cul-de-sac
With a two stroke Cub Cadet
I was dreamin' of the bush man
And the Northern Desert sky
Martin Cash, and old Bold Jack
And the Great Australian Bight
Well I pushed that mower round
Every goddamn house in town
Tell me where are we going and what’s the plan
We could cut cloth in the promised land
I could see us now man riding out
On the way to the big
Way to the Big Sundown
Cause the road will open up
And at least that’s what I hope
What I hope
What I hope it does
We got to Darwin Harbour
Was the fall of '83
The foreman had us pouring asphalt
By a sewage treatment facility
Said, "You couldn't find the end of a shovel
Cause you can't teach stupid how"
"Now, go ahead fellas, it's now or never
'Cause these holes won’t fill themselves"
I said "Thank you very much
But I think we best be off"
Tell me where are we going and when can we stop
Do ya reckon Jimmy Cook man ever felt lost?
I wonder if he turned around
On the way to the big
Way to the Big Sundown
Cause the road will open up
And at least that’s what I hope
What I hope
What I hope it does
