?GONNA START OVER
DOWN UNDER?

I?m a rough cut, good time cowboy
Tryin? to fit in a highbrow town
Where my lady thinks the ballet
Is the way to party down
Well it ain't my kind of living
I was raised free-range back home
And soon as I slip these reins
I'm movin? on

Chorus:
I?m gonna start all over down under
In the land of the ghost gum tree
In the outback of Australia
Close to bedrock as can be
I wanna stake out a simple life
With a fun, fair dinkum wife
Yeah I?m gonna start all over
Down under

It?s a land, according to legend
That time and man forgot
Could be why the laid back Aussies
Seem so happy with their lot
When you?re in the middle of nowhere
At a place like Alice Springs
The best of life is found
In what it brings

Chorus: repeat

There?s a girl I know who?s down there
Thinking I?m mighty fine
She?s got ?Waltzing Matilda?
Always on my mind
In the spell of the red earth evenings
And the Southern Cross above
We?ll find an age-old heaven
With our love

Bridge: It?s a chance I can?t afford to miss
My last frontier of happiness

Chorus: (repeat)
