Lyrics Over The Border

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
Get me over the border
Get me 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
Get me 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 Joh won't let me have my say
So I'll get on down to Coolongatta and get on my way

Get over the border
Get this rocket on the rails
Put some wind in my sails
I got my foot to the floor
I don't know what I went there for
Get me out of Queensland
I'm only going back with a gun in my hand
I got me mango
One day they're gonna hang Joh
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
