lyrics

“Dry River Bed”
By Stephen Pigram

When you’re drifting
On the ocean
And the sea is a perfect blue
But those storm clouds on the horizon
Are keeping you true
To who are you

Chorus
Well take me away
Across the spinifex plain
Where the true mirage never ends
And the smell of the rain is a long way away
Lay me down in a dry river bed.

Ain’t got no white picket fence
Ain’t got no green English lawn
Just got heat waves dancin’ for me
On this red dirt where I was born

Chorus

Feel the heart of my country
Beating to a lonesome blues
Gotta get back there
Gotta get back there
Gotta get back there real soon.

Chorus
