As a hungry young man from another land
I was chasing down my dreams
Heading northwest, put myself to the test
Busting at the seams
Like a bull at a gate, I just couldn't wait
Man, I had a lot to learn
The people in the land had other plans
And I was gonna crash and burn
Until an old man said
He said
It won't happen overnight, but she'll be right
Running on territory time
If you ever start to wonder why it takes a little longer
Running on territory time
You gotta learn to wait, bit of give and take
Planets will align
It's a state of mind
Running on territory time
I was going flat strap, 'bout to heart attack
It was messing with my brain
I remembered what he said, let the horse have his head
So I eased up on the reins
You learn to let go, run with the flow
And step out of the race
If you understand there's a better plan
Things fall into place
Just like the old man said
He said
It won't happen overnight, but she'll be right
Running on territory time
If you ever start to wonder why it takes a little longer
Running on territory time
You gotta learn to wait, bit of give and take
The planets will align
It's a state of mind
Running on territory time
♪
Twenty long years, still living up here
Always makes me smile
People from the city and I think it's a pity
Running at a million miles
Just like the old man said
He said
It won't happen overnight, but she'll be right
Running on territory time
If you ever start to wonder why it takes a little longer
Running on territory time
You gotta learn to wait, bit of give and take
The planets will align
It's a state of mind
Just turn around, slow her down
Running on territory time
When you're heading outback, you gotta relax
Running on territory time
It's a frequency, welcome to the N.T
Leave the world behind
It's a state of mind
Ooh, it's a state of mind
Running on territory time
