Slim Dusty Back to the Saltbush Plains Lyrics:
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.

My restless heart has been tied down,
By a girl in my home town
I'm goin' gonna throw the sliprails wide,
Let my wild emotions out,
want to cooee, want to shout,
As I rake a fiery brumbys hide.

[Instrumental]

I wanna let my voice go free,
A reckless gallop through the trees,
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/erig ]
Hard upon a racin’ scrubbers trail
Hear the timber 'round me break,
Feel the saddle leathers quake,
As I down the scrubber by the tail.

I wanna boil my battered quart,
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.

[Instrumental]

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.
