With land and sky and lots of room, and a thousand 
miles or more, 
I rev and point old purple (purple) on the Nullabor.
They say "G'day?" They say "How are you?" "you're 
gettin' thin on top, 
You've been travelling like a big old ball of rolly 
polly grass,"
Like a big old ball of rolly polly grass, I'm rollin' 
on.

[Instrumental]

They say G'day old Dusty mate you're gettin' thin on 
top, 
you've been goin' for so long now will you never ever 
stop?
But with mates around the country it's the only way I 
see 'em, 
And I've said before this travellin' mate is pretty 
close to freedom.
With land and sky and lots of room, and a thousand 
miles or more, 
I rev and point old purple out across the Nullabor.

From the cattle country in the north to Tassie way down 
south, 
the drought.
So get off your seat and come outback across the 
blacksoil plains, 
And you'll find the old Australian ways have very 
little changed.

With land and sky and lots of room, and a thousand 
miles just gone, 
Like a big old ball of roly-poly grass I'm rollin' on

[Instrumental]

In the footsteps of explorers like the famous Burke and 
Wills, 
Oh I've seen the dreamtime beauty of those Namatjira 
hills.
So don't ever try to pin me down to say where I like 
best, 
I just like Australia mate, North East South and West.

With land and sky and lots of room, and a thousand 
miles just gone, 
Like a big old ball of roly-poly grass I'm rollin' on

With land and sky and lots of room, and a thousand 
miles just gone, 
Like a big old ball of roly-poly grass I'm rollin' on.
