Текст песни Road Trippin' - Xavier Rudd

Why are you road trippin', daddy?

Rippin' down a track in my old Troopy
Wildflowers bloomin' with the smell of the sea
Road trippin'
Skeletons on the Tanami
Rusty car bodies never made the grind
Road trippin'

Hole in your stomach for the ones you love
Should've could've done more, never seems enough
Road trippin'
Hills risin' up from the big old plains
Like the belly of a woman who will procreate
Road trippin'

Brolga and the jabiru
Little thorny devil and the kangaroo
Road trippin'
Red-tailed blacks with their ancient cry
Gotten us through from day to night
Road trippin'

Catchin' silty grinner with a block of cheese
In this old billabong beneath these melaleuca trees
Road trippin'
And everybody's watchin' for the saltwater croc
Has always been, will always be the boss
Road trippin'

Balanda chasin' barramundi
And there's Arny with a handline pullin' up a feed
Road trippin'
Paintings in the caves from a time before
When all country was sacred, not a stone unturned
Road trippin'

Eatin' red dirt as the sun goes down
Feelin' life can't touch, can't catch you now
Road trippin'
Colours in the sky you've never seen before
Bein' cleansed by the waters of an ancient gorge
Road trippin'

And I'm sorry to you for the things that I do
And I love you more with every shimmerin' moon
Hand in hand with our feet in the sand
And all that I want here is you

Smiley faced kids in communities
Heart on their sleeve and their own two feet
Road trippin'
Chewin' on the flowers of a boab tree
Tryin' hard to imagine all the life they've seen
Road trippin'

Walkin' barefoot through the spinifex
Amazed by the tucker in the red desert
Road trippin'
Sun goin' down over Uluru
Suckin' honey from the flowers as we're gatherin' wood
Road trippin'

A wedge-tailed eagle and the whistlin' kite
On the long road east with home on the mind
Road trippin'
And everythin' is equal in this sacred land
Every plant, every animal, your own two hands
Road trippin'

Headin' back home to the cattle dogs
To the seasons on the river and the ones we love
Road trippin'
And we carry the spirit of this old country
Her wisdom in her hearts and her sweet memories
Road trippin'

And I'm sorry to you for the things that I do
And I love you more with every shimmerin' moon
Hand in hand with our feet in the sand
And all that I want here is you

Yes, all that I want here is you
(Oh, a different song)
