high country

honey pack your bags

grab your old blue jeans

we're gonna go fishin' in a mountain stream

well i know a little shack way up in the hills

twenty five miles from harrietville

in the high country

honey you should see all the stars up there

they shine so bright through the cold night air

i'm gonna build you a fire that'll burn real hot

and i'll stay with you at the old camp hut

in the high country

i've got my four-wheel drive and i'm ready to roll

i wanna go flyin' up an old dirt road

up in the hills where the brumbies roam

this land must be surely be god's own

in the high country

in the high country

in the drought of 1882

the maddisons brought the cattle through

from mountain creek to the staircase spur

we'll follow the tracks where they pushed the herd

up to the high country

i've got my four-wheel drive and i'm ready to roll

i wanna go flyin' up an old dirt road

up in the hills where the snow gums stand you can see forever across this land

in the high country

high country that's where i wanna be

walkin' with you by a mountain stream

high country that's where i wanna go

got my bags packed

i'm ready to roll

i've got my four-wheel drive and i'm ready to roll

i wanna go flying 'up an old dirt road

up in the hills where the snow gums stand

you can see forever across this land

i'm headin' for the high country

headin' for the high country

i'm headin' for the high country

that's where i wanna go

high country

got my bags packed

i'm ready to roll

up to the high country

headin' for the high country

headin' for the high country

headin' for the high country

high country

high country
