about

It's the 90s.
Not Drowning, Waving's luscious spacious album 'The Little Desert' is my soundtrack. I'm getting my working-life started, taking every contract going - and parking my music and my freedom.
Meanwhile my dear friend Caroline is taking of on big adventures across the desert in her old station wagon.

lyrics

RED DIRT TRACK - Lyrics

Your desert road is on my mind
I’m stuck in the city doing the usual grind
and I know
I chose this life
but out goes another tide

I let my soul get out-voted
and didn’t go when you asked me to I wanted to
I know
I chose this life
and now I’ve lost track why

You just got into your big old Holden
put on David Bridie and you waved goodbye….
Now I know you’re roaming out there
while I’m here drowning in security
just half alive
it’s such a waste of time when my spirit’s fading dry

And I imagine how it’d be and how you feel
and what you’re doing on your red dirt track
if I could find my way to the outback
I’d run and dive and burn and try and fail and live and do it like
that

No golden handcuffs on you
It’s a freedom that seems to elude me

It’s not just ‘cause I’m missing you badly but the
wild intrepid possibilities I
just let slide

So send me seeds
send me songs
And lure me out of this
place I’m coming from

And I imagine how it’d be and how you feel
and what you’re doing on your red dirt track
if I could find my way to the outback
I’d run and dive and burn and try and fail and live and do it

I'll imagine how it’d be and how you feel
and what you’re doing on your red dirt track = if I could find my way to the outback
I’d run and dive and burn and try and fail and live and do it like
that
