lyrics

We ate steak and kidney at a pub in Sydney we found them tough to chew.
We decided to go to the Melbourne show and to visit their famous zoo
Bought you opals and jade in Adelaide shaped like a little kangaroo
But I’m alone out here drinking too much beer trying to figure out, how I lost you.

I was s’pposed to meet you in Uluru in the shade of the big monolith
But I heard you’d gone to Woolongong I can tell you, I’m a little miffed.
And as the sun goes down all the red and the brown in the shadows on the rock begin to shift
And from Alice Springs they say your voice still rings if its so, that’s where I lost you.

I’m searching for you but its me whose lost
Looking for love in the Land of Oz (that's Australia).

Should I dive in my grief at the Barrier Reef find an island so remote
With the turtles and the herons just east of Cairns a pain too deep to ever float
Maybe I’ll go where it’s hot even though you're not on the coast near Darwin
So I'll hop a train through the Nullarbor plain even though that's where I lost you

I’m searching for you but its me whose lost
Looking for love in the Land of Oz (The Antepodes, Van Diemens land).

Take my broken heart cross the Strait to Hobart where Tasmanian Devils live
I could watch their sharp teeth chew up the raw meat cause I’d have nothing left to give
I would follow your track thru the great outback if that's all I had to do
But for what its worth I still like Perth even though that's where I lost you.

I’m searching for you but its me whose lost
Looking for love in the Land of Oz ( where's those Kangaroos).
