Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Brown like my eyes
Cold in the river tonight
There's a hundred cities not as pretty as you
Yeah, you've always been there
Yeah, you always come through
[Verse 2]
But if I died and went to heaven then heaven would be this place
Maybe I'm smitten, bitten by the brown snake
[Verse 3]
It winds around
This country town
Sometimes a flood
Brings us to tears
It's in our blood
Through all the years, it got my heart
The brown snake
A work of art
A work of art
[Verse 4]
Brown like my skin
Where my first memories begin
It's never too late to see the needle from expo 88
It's always raining, yeah, in the Sunshine State
[Verse 5]
But if I died and went to heaven then heaven would be this place
Maybe I'm smitten, bitten by the brown snake
[Verse 6]
It winds around
This country town
Sometimes a flood
Brings us to tears
It's in our blood
Through all the years, it got my heart
The brown snake
(The brown snake)
A work of art
A work of art
[Verse 7]
It's in my blood
(It's in our blood)
Through all the years, it got my heart
The brown snake
(The brown snake)
A work of art
A work of art
