lyrics

We need some money
Two or three grand
That’s why we’re heading
Through the Southern Midlands
You just stopped moving
Your body got stiff
You’re getting old now
Scared of everything

The servo’s never looked this good
I bet the gardener got a sweet deal
No one would be too surprised
If I fell asleep at the wheel

It was three thirty
The middle of spring
The seagulls were calling
“We’ll eat anything”
You caught their eye and
Didn’t let up
Finally they left us
You lay on the path

There until the sun went down
Sleeping like you can as a kid
Coffee pulsing through my veins
I got the sense of how much I’d miss
Picking you up

So long Baxie, you’re off the chain
Chasing wallabies in the rain

Colder than the river
Or the frost that’s hung around us all day
Least we’ve hit the Brooker now
Tears came fast all over my face

So long Baxie, you’re off the chain
Chasing wallabies in the rain

When we were driving
Down the Midlands
You’d stick your head out
The window and howl
Singing for freedom
Singing for love
Singing for friendship
Singing for us
Singing for now

You got me singing
Yeah you got me singing for now
