(Steady guitar build) Verse 1 I been walkin’ down the red‑dirt track Thinkin’ ‘bout the years I’ve had Some days I won, some days I fell Some stories I ain’t ever told well Look out far to the gum‑tree line Where the sun dips down to shine Every road I’ve ever known Leads me back to this place I’ve grown Pre‑Chorus Ain’t no perfect life, ain’t no perfect plan Just walkin’ strong on this red‑dirt land We all got dreams we wanna see come true — Just like me, just like you Chorus Gum‑tree horizon — glowin’ gold and red! Every path I’ve ever tread! Gum‑tree horizon — stretchin’ far and wide! Queensland soul, deep inside! Gum‑tree horizon — glowin’ gold and red! Every path I’ve ever tread! Gum‑tree horizon — stretchin’ far and wide! Queensland soul, deep inside! Verse 2 Some mates left town for the big city lights Some stayed home through the days and nights Some found fortune, some found strain Some walked through the long hard rain But no matter where their roads may roam They still think of this place as home That old gum‑tree glow still calls them back — Down the familiar track Pre‑Chorus Ain’t no perfect life, ain’t no perfect plan Just walkin’ strong on this red‑dirt land We all got dreams we wanna see come true — Just like me, just like you Chorus Gum‑tree horizon — glowin’ gold and red! Every path I’ve ever tread! Gum‑tree horizon — stretchin’ far and wide! Queensland soul, deep inside! Gum‑tree horizon — glowin’ gold and red! Every path I’ve ever tread! Gum‑tree horizon — stretchin’ far and wide! Queensland soul, deep inside! Bridge When the stars come out and the shadows fall That horizon’s there for one and all — No matter how far you travel on, That Queensland heart still carries on! Final Chorus Gum‑tree horizon — glowin’ gold and red! Every path I’ve ever tread! Gum‑tree horizon — stretchin’ far and wide! Queensland soul, deep inside! (Fade: steady guitar + soft wind)
