Another Curley One Take Me Home Country Road (with apologies to John Denver)
Well Curley’s just been up the big smoke To say ‘gidday’ to some of the folk. Left the clean air and stars in the sky For the rush and the bustle which can horrify. We often forget how lucky we are Living down here with the city so far. None of the traffic except for the snow And up on the ridge the cry of a crow. So out on the Hume with hundreds of trucks The push and the shove definitely sucks. Then far up ahead the traffic slows down What goes on here I think with a frown. We grind to halt and wonder what gives Mouthing away at a few expletives. Finally at last we’re back under way Still no idea what caused the delay. A couple of days of the city’s delights Then the need to get out suddenly bites The best view of all is looking behind With the bush up ahead you slowly unwind.
