Listen now to the wind babe

Listen now to the rain

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

Listen now to the wind babe

Listen now to the rain

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 Bow River again

The first thing you know

I'll be back in Bow River again

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

Listen now to the wind babe

Listen now to the rain

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

First set o' wheels headin'

back Bow River again

I don't need the score

I'm goin' through the door

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

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
