Back To The Saltbush Plains - Slim Dusty

Throwin' off these city clothes

Goin' where the gidgee grows

Headin' for a western cattle run

Leave my sweetheart catch a train

Headin' for the saltbush plain

Way out toward the settin' sun

My restless heart has been tied down

By a girl in bart town

But now I'm gonna throw the sliprails wide

Let my wild emotions out

What a cooee what a shout

As I wake a firey from his hide

I wanna let my voice go free

A reckless gallop through the trees

Hard upon a racin' scrubbers trail

Hear the timber 'round me break

Feel the saddle leather quake

As I down the scrubber by the tail

I wanna boil my battered port

Wanna hear the stock horse snort

Hear the dingos howling mournfully

Hear a thousand cattle stamp

As they rush from their night camp

All that noise is music now to me

I'm throwin' off these city clothes

Goin' where the gidgee grows

Headin' for a western cattle run

Leave my sweetheart catch a train

Headin' for the saltbush plain

Way out toward the settin' sun
