Well I've spent too long in the deep north, The land of the big peanut It ain't that great in the Police State They burn down the hippies huts They turn back the clocks a decade They bust you for no reason The sun shines the whole year 'round The shotguns' still in season Get me over the border, get me over the border Down to New South Wales The girls' are sweet & juicy Oh so brown & blonde But watch out for the young ones You wont get no bond They don't treat you too well Down in Bogga Road jail Make a break, make a break for the border With the dogs running on your tail Over the border put some wind in my sails Over the border put some wind in my sails Get me over the border down to New South Wales It's a nice place to visit But I wouldn't want to stay I might want to march in the street some day But ol' Joh wont let me have my say So I'll get on down to Coolangatta And get on my way Get over the border Get this rocket on the rails Put some wind in my sails I got my foot to the floor I don't know what I went there for Get out of Queensland I'm only going back with a gun in my hand I got me a mango one day they're gonna hang Joh Over the border put some wind in my sails Over the border get my wheels on the rails Get me over the border down to new south wales
