(Blues‑tinged guitar + soft harmonica) Verse 1 Hot arvo sun hangin’ high and slow Servo verandah where the breezes blow Cold drink sit‑tin’ on the old wood rail Watch the utes go down the trail Bin chooks hop ‘round the concrete floor Fly buzzin’ out the door Radio playin’ an old tune loud No rush, no worry, no crowd Pre‑Chorus Ain’t goin’ nowhere fast today Just gonna sit and watch the world drift away Let the heat hang, let the time roll on — This is where the feelin’ belongs Chorus Servo verandah blues — slow and sweet! Wide Bay heat under our feet! Servo verandah blues — driftin’ free! Queensland groove, just you and me! Servo verandah blues — slow and sweet! Wide Bay heat under our feet! Servo verandah blues — driftin’ free! Queensland groove, just you and me! Verse 2 Old bloke sittin’ with his hat pulled low Says “Son I’ve seen the seasons come and go I’ve seen the cane grow tall and bend Seen the wet‑season rains descend Don’t chase the world too hard or far — Find your place where the warm winds are” Pre‑Chorus Ain’t goin’ nowhere fast today Just gonna sit and watch the world drift away Let the heat hang, let the time roll on — This is where the feelin’ belongs Chorus Servo verandah blues — slow and sweet! Wide Bay heat under our feet! Servo verandah blues — driftin’ free! Queensland groove, just you and me! Servo verandah blues — slow and sweet! Wide Bay heat under our feet! Servo verandah blues — driftin’ free! Queensland groove, just you and me! Bridge Sun starts sinkin’ towards the cane‑field line Lights come up on the servo sign Still sittin’ there, still feelin’ fine — That slow summer rhythm of mine Final Chorus Servo verandah blues — slow and sweet! Wide Bay heat under our feet! Servo verandah blues — driftin’ free! Queensland groove, just you and me! (Fade: guitar + soft harmonica)
