I've Travelled Across The Country
On Every Beaten Track
From The Sugar Cane To The Nullabor Plain
And I've Been To Burke And Back
But There's Nothing I Like Better
Just Before Australia Day
Than Heading Down The New England Highway

Got My Boots On, Got My Hat On
Got My Old Guitar And A New Song
For A Week I'll Be Where I Belong
With The Big Stars, Golden Guitars
Dream Will Be Ours Some Day
Cruising The New England Highway

They'll Be Busking Down On Peel Street
Looking For A Lucky Break
There's The Chook Man And The One Man Band
And Slim Dusty's In The Cavalcade
There's Nothing I Like Better
Just Before Australia Day
Than Heading Down The New England Highway
