V1/ Where the kite men fly from the cliffs so high and the salt wind burns you dry, the jagged coastline, lies sublime, I've travelled far and wide smelt the winds on the tide...
on a winding road by a poundin' sea, a windin' road comin' back to me...
chorus...Roll on roll on roll on Wollongong, Roll on roll on roll on Wollongong, rock on your Steel City Song.
V2/ Your black hair blows in the flame shadows as the chilling city glows, the night time falls with us once again, in the crash of the waves in their stormy rock graves,
on a windin' road by a poundin' sea, a windin' road comin' back to me...
chorus...Roll on roll on roll on Wollongong, Roll on roll on roll on Wollongong, rock on your Steel City Song.
bridge... the mountains behind, top of Bulli, coastal lights twinkle and cry and on the road now so do I...
chorus...
V3/ I drive the ol' coast road with many a load, by the mines and the big erode, those sulphur city lights they shimmer now, the green coastal farm hills fade dim in the smoky mills... on a winding road etc.
