Hat Town

(album: Spirit Of The Bush - 2007)

I was born in a hat town
Raised on the warago
It's hot out here but you tough it out
Like and old Brigalow
From the back of the channelled country
Across the western plains
The roads are straight and dusty
And the folks are much the same

Roots run strong and deep out here in a hat town
And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town
Well fight the dark and end up, like the barky downs
There's a pub an store and not much more, you're living in an old hat town

Stock are Rollin in the heat hays, half mile 60 zone
Just a rag tag bunch of buildings made of wood and tin and stone
There's a swag with stories, most of them are true
Have the locals' pass the hat around and pull each other through

Roots run strong and deep out here in a hat town
And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town
Well fight the dark and end up, like the barky downs
There's a pub an store and not much more, you're living in an old hat town

Well were out about and drover's, bushies tride and trudies
And were out her for the long haul not just blowin through

Roots run strong and deep out here in a hat town
And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town
From the back of the channelled country, and across the dusty downs
There's a pub a store and not much more, you're living in an old hat town

Odelay heeeee
Livin in a hat town
Livin in an old hat town
