Listen now to the wind, babe

Listen now to the rain

I feel that water lickin' at my feet again

I don't wanna see this town no more

Wastin' my days on a factory floor

The first thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again

Anytime you want babe, you can come around

But only six days separates me and the great Top End

I been working hard, twelve hours a day

And the money I saved won't buy my youth again

I'm goin' for the heat babe, and the tropical rain

In a place where no man's puttin' on the dog for me

I'm waitin' on the weekend, set o' brand new tyres

And back in Bow River's just where I want to be

Oh listen now to the wind, babe

Listen now to the rain

I feel that water lickin' at my feet again

I don't wanna see this town no more

Too many years made up my mind to go or stay

Right to my dying day

I don't wanna see another engine line

Too many years and I owe my mind

The first set o' wheels headin' back in Bow River again

The first thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again

Yeah-yeah

I got the motor runnin', I got the rest of my days

Sold everything I owned for just a song

So anytime you want babe, you can come around

But don't leave it too late, you just might find me gone

Oh listen now to the wind, babe

Listen now to the rain

I feel that water lickin' at my feet again

I don't wanna see this town no more

Too many years made up my mind to go or stay

Right to my dying day

I don't wanna see another engine line

Too many years and I owe my mind

The first set o' wheels headin' back to Bow River again

I don't need the score

I'm goin' through the door

I'm gonna tell the man I don't want no more

Pick up a fast car and burn my name in the road

One week, two week, maybe even more

I piss all my money up against the damn wall

The first thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again

The first thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again

The first thing you know I'll be

Back in Bow River

Again
