A Bushman Can't Survive - John Williamson

Written by：JohnWilliamson

A city girl is happy

With her friends and family life

Appreciates a wine with him at night

She tries to find the sparkle

She searches but it's gone

With lots of love she hopes he'll be alright

Her man has gone all quiet he's not at ease

He doesn't feel at home he's hard to please

He gets itchy feet

He's tired of noises in the street

He needs to walk for hours through the trees

No a bushman can't survive on city lights

Opera rock and roll and height of heights

His moon shines on the silver brigalow

Shimmers down the inland river flow

Out there where the yellow belly bites

He's working with his hands today

On a building site

He can smell the cypress on the floor

It takes him to a sandy ridge

Out amongst the pines

No shearin' no ploughin' anymore

His kelpie dog is tired and fast asleep

Sick of searchin' gardens for the sheep

His master doesn't whistle tunes

He's not in the mood

His love for open spaces runs too deep

No a bushman can't survive on city lights

Opera rock and roll and height of heights

His moon shines on the silver brigalow

Shimmers down the inland river flow

Out there where the yellow belly bites

He tries to please his woman the lady of his life

He's standing at a party with a plate

She finds him on the balcony staring at the moon

An old familiar face he can relate

His moon shines on the silver brigalow

Shimmers down the inland river flow

Out there where the yellow belly bites
