Over the Border - Skyhooks

Well, I 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 hippy’s huts

They turn back the clocks a decade, they bust you for no reason

The sun shines the whole year ‘round, the shotgun’s still in season

(Over the border) get me over the border

(Over the border) get me over the border

(Over the border) down to New South Wales

The girls are sweet and juicy, oh, so brown and blonde

But watch out for the young ones, you won’t get no bond

They don’t treat you too well down in Boggo Jail

Make a break, make a break for the border with the dogs runnin' on your tail

(Over the border) put some wind in my sails

(Over the border) get my wheels on the rails

(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 old Joe won’t let me have my say

So I’ll get on down to Coolongatta and get on my way, yeah

(Get over the border) get this rocket on the rails

(Get over the border) put some wind in my sails

(Get over the border) I got my foot to the floor

I don’t know what I went there for

(Get over the border) get me out of Queensland

I’m only going back with a gun in my hand

(Get over the border) I got me mango

(Get over the border) one day they’re gonna hang Joe

(Get over the border) put some wind in my sails

(Get over the border) get my wheels on the rails

(Get over the border) down to New South Wales
