Working coast to coast 
Sleeping on a train 
Caught between the settled life
And on the road again 
People often ask me
Where it is I'm from
Find it hard to tell them
So I say it in a song

Eagle in the mountain
Floating on the breeze
Shark out in the ocean
He's happy in the deep
Me, I've got my own place 
It's good enough for me
You could find me anywhere 
Between the mountains and the sea

I've been a lot of places
Done a lot of things
Some of them were so good 
I'd do those things again 
The town that I was born in
It knows me all too well
I hope they'll take me back there
When the keeper rings the bell 

Oh, but eagle in the mountains
Floating on the breeze
Shark out in the ocean
He's happy in the deep
Me, I've got my own place 
It's good enough for me
You could find me anywhere 
Between the mountains and the sea

Sometimes I stop and wonder 
How it came to this
This life of lonely travelling 
So far from civil bliss
There's been people on the journey
Some I love so deep 
Others took advantage 
Oh, and some had no idea

Oh but that eagle in the mountains
Floating on a breeze
Shark out in the ocean
He's happy in the deep
Me, I've got my own place 
It's good enough for me
You could find me anywhere 
Between the mountains and the sea

Eagle in the mountains 
Rainbow in the sky 
Shark out in the ocean 
He's following the tide 
Spirit of this country
I hear it speak to me 
When the wind is calling 
Between the mountains and the sea
When the wind is blowing 
Between the mountains and the sea
