Home sweet home where we cut our teeth
stretched out our arms, bloodied out knees
I loved the rain rare and weak
and the salt bush ground beneath my feet
When I was a baby
and I grew amongst the gumtrees
they planted me down with the soil and seeds
and this country air my lungs will breathe
Where the wind blows across the plains
and Uncle he carves our names
before wet cement we stand
in that old tool shed that weathered his hands
When I was a baby
and I grew amongst the gumtrees
they planted me down with the soil and seeds
and this dusty air I'll always breathe
If I can't bare the weight of this city I call my own
may the wind of the river and my old home rest my soul
may my old home rest my soul
Built a fort of scrap and heap
those splintered crumbling spars we'd keep
stood them up around the gum
and their white ant eaten bones stood strong
When I was a baby
and I grew amongst the gumtrees
they planted me down with the soul and seeds
and this country air I'll always breathe
