Crazy Cowboy Lyrics

A hundred miles of flat land's

Just enough for me to breathe

Where the grassland flows forever

Through a tapestry of trees

The sunburnt barbed wire fence posts

And the rusted farm machines

And beneath the cracking, empty lake

The desert holds the seeds



The long dead ancient gidgee

Silhouettes an epic sky

Upon the dam, the highest point

I see a thousand miles

And every animal and bird

Will gather hеre at dusk

Around the precious watеr hole

I'm watching from the brush



I am a cowboy

And they say I'm crazy

But I live for the silence

And the touch of my fine lady

Breathe the clean air

I drink the water

And at night I fight the madness

Of a culture going down



A hundred miles of flat land's

Just enough for me to breathe

And fifty parrots pink and gray

Are laughing in the trees

The dingo's desperate howling

To the farm dog who's in heat

As a hundred thousand

Nightmares fade away



I shot my TV

I burned my taxes

And I'm living in a shack

About a hundred miles from town

Here in the desert

They cannot find me

And at night I fight the madness

Of a culture going down



A night sky full of endless stars

With only you and me

The crackle of the campfire

And the brush of blowing breeze

The blanket round our shoulders

Fending off the winter freeze

As a hundred thousand

Nightmares fade away



I am a cowboy

And they say I'm crazy

But I live for the silence

And the touch of my fine lady

Breathe the clean air

I drink the water

And at night I fight the madness

Of a culture going down



I am a cowboy

And they say I'm crazy

But I live for the silence

And the touch of my fine lady

Breathe the clean air

I drink the water

And at night I fight the madness

Of a culture going down
