Way out west where the rain
Don't fall got a job with the compan
Drilling for oil
Just to make some change
Living and working on the land
I quit my job and I left my wife
I headed out west for a brand new life
Just to get away
Living and working on the land
The work is hard
But the pay is good
And I take me a rest if I only could
'Cause is hot out here
Living and working on the land
They give you a house made of fibro cement
You don't have no worry about paying the rent
Yeah it's oh so cheap
Living and working on the land
Oh~ What a change it's been
From working that nine to five
Oh~ How strange it's been
At last I get the feeling that I'm really alive
There's nothing much to do on a Saturday night
Get into some booze
Or maybe a fight
'Cause it's tough out here
Living and working on the land
Way out west where the rain
Don't fall got a job with the company
Drilling for oil
And I ain't gonna leave
Living and working on the land
