John WIlliamson performs his new single 'The Great Divide'
Lyrics: It's funny how you wanna go When they say you're gonna stay at home We're a land of nomads Born free to roam I thought we were a country But it seems we're three or four Can't go back to my home town 'Cause it's against the law
Yeah, it's funny how you wanna go More than you did before But I wanna out west I don't wanna leave the shore I just wanna be Australian There's so much to explore Wouldn't mind seeing my children But that's against the law
You can call it the great divide Not talking about a range Never in our nation's history Has living been so strange
Suddenly, I wanna leave When I'm told I've gotta stay Many people so close to me Are now so far away They're all south of the border I'm not talking about Mexico I'm talking about Australia Where inland rivers flow
You can call it the great divide Not talking about a range Never in our nation's history Has living been so strange
Will it be all over In 2021 A good number for a birthday A year for everyone? To celebrate the freedom Of a land of sweeping plains Of rugged mountain ranges Of droughts and flooding rains Of wallflowers in the springtime Koalas in the trees And brolgas flying southward With the warming summer breeze
It's just a line on our back Or a river running through We should be just as free As the big red kangaroo You can call it the great divide Not talking about a range Never in our nation's history Has living been so strange
