I set my sails for the New South Wales Tryin' to get ahead of the sun The day I left for the New South Wales You said, ["Babe, don't forget where you're from.Babe don't forget where you come from."] Wadin' in the water on the Scarborough Beach Takin' pictures of my feet in the sand I should be writin' you a letter from the Scarborough beach Saying, ["Babe, you won't believe where I am.Babe, you won't believe where I am."] Stoppin' on the highway at the side of the road Starin' at a whole new set of stars I go where I go and I do what I'm told But it's easy to forget where you are It's easy to forget where you are Oh, you read my mind Your beauty can leave me blind The truth can be cruel and so unkind But I can't lie to you Sometimes I get so blue I don't want anything to do with myself I set my sight on my front porch light Tryin' to shake this feelin' that took hold Dreamin' that you're leavin' on the front porch light Maybe turnin' lead into gold Maybe turnin' lead into gold Singing, shine on, shine on, shine on travelin' light Sing a song, sing it for all the right reasons tonight
