Out there on the bypass doin' business night and day

Fast food multinationals sellin' plastic take away

While the shops in town are closin' down, dried up dreams on stony ground

You wonder why it always seems to end up this way
G C
Same old way
[Verse]
G F C
Nobody seems to question or even wonder why

Some towns get forgotten and left alone to die
Am G F
While out there on the highway faded signs
Am G F
Of glory days and memories in time

Port Augusta time
[Verse]
G F C
And the older generation in silence fade away
G F C C/B
No work for the younger folk no reason left to stay
Am G F
And out there on the highway there's a sign
Am G C
“Find a better future down the line
G C
Way down the line”
