Full Lyrics: (Snappy guitar shuffle kicks in) Verse 1 Sun goes down on the main street sign Servo lights start to shine Mates come walkin’ out the door Head down to the park by the creek shore Some are laughin’, some are yellin’ loud Whole town’s out in the warm cloud Ain’t no big city flashy glow — Just our red‑dirt town where the good times grow Pre‑Chorus Yeah the heat still lingers when the day’s done gone Good feelin’ comin’ on strong Sometimes it’s rough, sometimes it’s fine — That old town rhythm runnin’ through your mind! Chorus Red‑dirt town lights — feel that good fire burn! Hot summer evenin’, no need to turn! Red‑dirt town lights — yeah we’re feelin’ it true! Queensland heart beat, right on through! Red‑dirt town lights — feel that good fire burn! Hot summer evenin’, no need to turn! Red‑dirt town lights — yeah we’re feelin’ it true! Queensland heart beat, right on through! Verse 2 Old blokes sit on the verandah rail Watch the young ones trail the trail Kids run chasin’ ‘neath the gum‑tree shade Mango scent driftin’ down the parade Radio hums from a parked ute cab Everybody’s got that happy drag Ain’t no fancy place to be — Just this town, just you and me Pre‑Chorus Yeah the heat still lingers when the day’s done gone Good feelin’ comin’ on strong Sometimes it’s rough, sometimes it’s fine — That old town rhythm runnin’ through your mind! Chorus Red‑dirt town lights — feel that good fire burn! Hot summer evenin’, no need to turn! Red‑dirt town lights — yeah we’re feelin’ it true! Queensland heart beat, right on through! Red‑dirt town lights — feel that good fire burn! Hot summer evenin’, no need to turn! Red‑dirt town lights — yeah we’re feelin’ it true! Queensland heart beat, right on through! Bridge Some nights the breeze blows soft and sweet Some nights the dust kicks up the street No matter what the weather brings — That town‑side rhythm still sings! Final Chorus Red‑dirt town lights — feel that good fire burn! Hot summer evenin’, no need to turn! Red‑dirt town lights — yeah we’re feelin’ it true! Queensland heart beat, right on through! (Fade: shuffling guitar + distant crickets)
