He cannot settle down, he's always moving around

From one town to another, he's worked across this land

He worked BHP in Wyalla and moved across to Adelaide

But that did not last too long, wasn't long before he was gone

Cause he cannot settle down, it's in his blood and it's in his bones

He cannot settle down, he's wondering if he'll ever find a home

His old man was a seasonal worker, he'd pick, he'd cut, he'd shear

From the Queensland cane to Sunraysia fruit, he'd travel year by year

His education was unsettled, the same goes with his relationships but

He had a girl or two, but they never last too long

Cause he cannot settle down, it's in his blood and it's in his bones

He cannot settle down, he's wondering if he'll ever find a home

He's sitting in a hotel bar in a small town in NSW

He's wondering if the next town is where he'Il settle down

Well he has another beer and he has another bourbon and ice

Cause that's the only way he can find his paradise

Cause he cannot settle down, it's in his blood and it's in his bones

He cannot settle down, he's wondering if he'll ever find a home
