Do you feel
There’s something bigger
And if you slow down
You might get there quicker 

See the past in your rear view mirror now
Clock up a few miles
Cross some rivers
To this town

Do you feel
A little underrated?
Working day and nights
To keep up the payments

‘Cause the land
Is a wild and broken mistress
Take the road that leads you back
To this town.

Little town with a big heart
Big sky full of bright stars
And you, when are you coming back?
And you, when are you coming back to this town?

Do you feel
My head upon your shoulder?
When you see a pair of eagles
Soaring

As the nights get a little
Colder now
And as the embers still smoulder
For this town

Silent mountains of indigo blue
A grandfather watching over you
Ancient spirits follow the stream
And sneak through the curtains
As you’re baking something

Can you feel them in the breeze
Do they whispering your name?
Lay down your regrets
Lay down your blames

Do you feel
You’re the lucky ones?
Fortunate daughters
Fortunate songs

There is beauty and terror
In this Great Southern Land
But when you’re down
Someone will lend a hand

Little town with a big heart
Big sky full of bright stars
And you, when are you coming back?
And you, when are you coming back to this town?

When are you coming back (when are you coming back) to this town?
I got your back (I got your back) in this town
We’re coming back (we’re coming back) in this town

When are you coming back?
