Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a drover's road
High up where ravens fly
And soon I'll lose my way and I won't know
It's a drover's road
From days so long gone by
When we knew who we were and where to go
[Verse 2]
It's a drover's road
It winds a hundred miles
You'd sleep out in the open calm and still
You could trust a friend
To keep a watch awhile
Your cattle grazing quiet on the hill
[Verse 3]
Walk with me
And you can leave that old dog be
He does much better on his own
Leave him be
He's a better man than me
He likes to find his own way home
[Verse 4]
On a drover's road
With the moon and misty stars
We walked these hills before this all began
Before we gazed at screens
Went shopping in our cars
And a million houses sprawled across the land
[Verse 5]
Walk with me
And you can leave that old dog be
He does much better on his own
Leave him be
He's a better man than me
He likes to find his own way home
