Land of the Getaway
Words and Music by Colin Buchanan © 2001 Universal Music (Aust)
Sharlene and her husband Craig
Been 6 months out of Mackay
Livin’ like gypsies in a Cassa Villa pop top
Takin’ one day at a time
Hooked up with Pete from Revesby
Who gave the teachin’ game away
Joined the inland wanderers
Now he’s pickin’ grapes in the MIA
No passports
No orders
No bosses
No borders
CHORUS
They’re livin’ in the land of the getaway
No tellin’ where the road will end
They’re livin’ in the land of the getaway
And just around the bend is a brand new day
In the land of the getaway
You’ve got Gemma with her life in a her backpack
Chucked in her law degree
She’s done chipping Goondoowindi cotton
She’s gonna hitch up the Territory
White tribes in the red dirt camp grounds
playin’ cricket as the sun goes down
a beer and a chuckle
as they wonder what their mates
in the city are doing now
No peak hour
No hurry
No rat race
No worries...
CHORUS
BRIDGE
No deadlines
No hum drum
A full tank of freedom
CHORUS
