[Intro spoken] Dust on my boots, stars in my head Radio hums like the spirits said [Verse 1] Got a six-string twang and a busted old ute Compass spinning like it’s telling the truth Red dirt heartbeat, thump in my chest Every mile out here feels more real than the rest Crows draw circles in the violet sky Time slows down when the mind runs dry [Pre-Chorus] Swag on my back, no name, no plan Just footprints fading where the road began [Chorus] I’m going walkabout, lost but found Neon snakes in the sand spin around Didgeridoo drones in a four on the floor Sun’s melting gold through my pores Country soul with a cosmic shout Psychedelic dust as I wander out [Drop cue] Kick drum rising like heat off stone Bassline slithers, I’m not alone [Drop] Boom boom, red sand trance Boots kick up a spiralling dance Yeehaw echoes in laser light Bush spirits rave through the night [Verse 2] Moonshine visions in eucalyptus haze Mirages shimmer like summer days Kangaroos bounce through fractal dreams Fence lines bend into glowing beams Old man river whispers my name Says you don’t leave here the way you came [Pre-Chorus] Heart goes feral, mind goes free Out here the desert remembers me [Chorus] I’m going walkabout, lost but found Neon snakes in the sand spin around Didgeridoo drones in a four on the floor Sun’s melting gold through my pores Country soul with a cosmic shout Psychedelic dust as I wander out [Breakdown] Clap sticks ticking like a metronome Every grain of sand feels like home Steel guitar cries to the Milky Way While the kick keeps pulling me further astray [Build] Hands up, heatwave higher Bassline hums like a bushfire choir [Final Drop] Stomp stomp, rave in boots Cosmic cowboys, desert roots Trance lights blaze, stars burn loud I tip my hat to the dreaming crowd [Outro] When the sun comes up, I’m still about Half man, half myth, still on walkabout
