I left Adelaide when I was only 4 feet tall
Kick-started this old Harley, I said thanks it's been a ball
I got to Port Augusta, layed on that first day
I rode around, looked at the town
And went back the other way.
This old Harley and Machine Gun are the only things I own
I've got one more job to do before I go back home
It's been several years, I've been living on the road
But now I'm tired of being a nutcase,
I am tired of being alone
When I got to Mildura, I wanted fireworks,
I scored a bag in Merbein and set some off in Wentworth
I led up that silver highway with crackers and Tom thumbs
Saw no one I know in Ivanhoe, so I eyeballed everyone
This old Harley and Machine Gun are the only things I own
I've got one more job to do before I go back home
It's been several years, I've been living on the road
But now I'm tired of being a nutcase,
I am tired of being alone
Oh summer in Menindee, so hot I nearly blistered
Mary in Pooncarie, I'm never going to miss her
I lingered in Paringa, I got an itchy trigger finger
I packed my bag into my hat, then it was time to go
This old Harley and Machine Guns are the only things I own
I've got one more job to do before I go back home
It's been several years, I've been living on the road
But now I'm tired of being a nutcase,
I am tired of being alone
This old Harley and Machine Guns are the only things I own
I've got one more job to do before I go back home
It's been several years, I've been living on the road
But now I'm tired of being a nutcase,
I am tired of being alone
