[Verse 1]
Six chairs in a dusty line
Esky rattling
Tyres hum in time
Michael’s got the map half upside down
Tracey’s singing way too loud
Nadine’s laughing at Kent’s bad jokes
Michelle’s chasing flies from the lunch we brought
Glen says
“Next stop
Something wild”
Red dirt in the rearview
Wide-eyed child
[Chorus]
Old Farts Roadtripping
Through Outback Queensland air
From lava caves to Porcupine
We’re getting older
But we’re still there
Old Farts Roadtripping
Collbold Gorge in the heat
Might move slow
But our stories
Outrun the miles and the seats (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Helmets on in the lava caves
Cool dark quiet
Ancient waves
Someone sneezed
It echoed long
We stumbled out blinking
Feeling strong
Cliff edges at the gorges call
Tiny figures against those walls
We trade the cameras
Swap the hats
“Take one more
I look too fat” (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Old Farts Roadtripping
Through Outback Queensland air
From lava caves to Porcupine
We’re getting older
But we’re still there
Old Farts Roadtripping
Collbold Gorge in the heat
Might move slow
But our stories
Outrun the miles and the seats
[Bridge]
Sunburnt arms
Cracked-up lips
Too much salt on the hot-chip fix
Say we’re done
Then one more track
“One last lookout
Then we’re back”
[Chorus]
Old Farts Roadtripping
Through Outback Queensland air
From lava caves to Porcupine
We’re getting older
But we’re still there
Old Farts Roadtripping
Til the wheels call it a night
We found our younger selves out here
In all this red and white
