I got roots where the saltbush grow In the land of boredom and brigalow
I?m workin? a rig for BHP I?ve got a girl back in Emerald, waitin? for me Stuck out here at the end of the line I got a few mates and I?m doin? alright
I hit the weekend like a 303 Kickin? up a dust storm, blowin? off steam I?m stuck in traffic on Flinders Street It?s the Blues and the Bombers at the MCG
It?s layin? rubber on the road Havin? big times, hittin? red lines Takin? knocks and getting? back on your feet
I?m a Townsville digger in Afghanistan Tell the kids that I?ll be home soon
I?ll stand by my mates, I stand by the flag I believe in the green and gold
