lyrics
We’re leaving south bank,
It’s that time of year,
Gunna head on down to New South Wales,
For a little Christmas cheer,
This year’s been a tough one,
Let’s not beat around,
Every time you tried to surface,
Something else has kicked you down,
But we’re finally moving,
Free from old Clem Jones,
Hey show me some new music,
Pull it up on your phone,
And I know it’s a victory
to just get out that door,
We can talk it all through,
Or say nothing at all,
Out on the road,
We can leave it behind,
All of those questions,
We’ll get to them in time,
Let’s get back to a feeling,
When we were young and unaware,
Not out of the water we could use a little air,
Coffs Harbour is sparkling,
This time of year,
Do you wanna head in for a break,
Off the highway we will veer,
I know your feeling lost,
Now that they’re gone,
You gotta keep navigating the waves,
Of your internal storm,
Out on the road,
We can leave it behind,
All of those questions,
We’ll get to them in time,
I won’t take you for granted,
This time I swear,
We’re not out of the water just coming up for air,
When we get down to Hexham,
And cross over that bridge,
Where we used to get a milkshake,
Back when we were kids,
And as the Sydney lights appear,
You can’t hold back those tears,
Let them flow my friend,
Cry away this year,
Out on the road,
You can’t leave it behind,
It’s just a little cut oranges,
A little break half time,
Let’s get back to a feeling,
When we were young and unaware,
Not our of the water just coming up for air.
It’s that time of year,
Gunna head on down to New South Wales,
For a little Christmas cheer,
This year’s been a tough one,
Let’s not beat around,
Every time you tried to surface,
Something else has kicked you down,
But we’re finally moving,
Free from old Clem Jones,
Hey show me some new music,
Pull it up on your phone,
And I know it’s a victory
to just get out that door,
We can talk it all through,
Or say nothing at all,
Out on the road,
We can leave it behind,
All of those questions,
We’ll get to them in time,
Let’s get back to a feeling,
When we were young and unaware,
Not out of the water we could use a little air,
Coffs Harbour is sparkling,
This time of year,
Do you wanna head in for a break,
Off the highway we will veer,
I know your feeling lost,
Now that they’re gone,
You gotta keep navigating the waves,
Of your internal storm,
Out on the road,
We can leave it behind,
All of those questions,
We’ll get to them in time,
I won’t take you for granted,
This time I swear,
We’re not out of the water just coming up for air,
When we get down to Hexham,
And cross over that bridge,
Where we used to get a milkshake,
Back when we were kids,
And as the Sydney lights appear,
You can’t hold back those tears,
Let them flow my friend,
Cry away this year,
Out on the road,
You can’t leave it behind,
It’s just a little cut oranges,
A little break half time,
Let’s get back to a feeling,
When we were young and unaware,
Not our of the water just coming up for air.
