Way Out West

Way out west where the rain don't fall

Got a job with a company drilling for oil

Just to make some change

Living and working on the land

I quit my job and I left my wife

I headed out west for a brand new life

Just to get away

Living and working on the land

The work is hard but the pay is good

And I'd take me a rest if I only could

'Cause it's hot out here

Living and working on the land

They give you a house made of fibrocement

You don't have no worries 'bout paying the rent

Yeah, it's oh so cheap

Living and working on the land

Oh, what a change it's been

From working that nine to five

Oh, how strange it's been

At last I get the feeling that I'm really alive

Nothing much to do on a Saturday night

But get into some booze or maybe a fight

'Cause it's tough out here

Living and working on the land

Way out west where the rain don't fall

Got a job with a company drilling for oil

And I ain't gonna leave

Living and working on the land
