Sunburned Country Songtext
von Olivia Newton‐John

I carry her with me (I)
I carry her pride (okay)
Whenever I speak her name
My soul, it comes alive

She taught me to be strong
She taught me to fight
And I am who I am today
Because she raised me right (yes, she did)

In a sunburned country
Her magic and her mystery (oh)
In a sunburned country
Forever will be home to me
Yeah, that′s where my heart is truly free (yes it is)

Yeah, eeh-eeh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, eeh-eeh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-ooh


The creeks and the rivers
The dust and the mud (the dust and the mud)
All of us understand
This land gets in your blood (yes it does)

The sight of the blue gums
And black cockatoos
White snow Kosciusko
Red rock Uluru, oh-oh, yeah

In a sunburned country
Her magic and her mystery
In a sunburned country
Forever will be home to me
Yeah, that's where my heart is truly free (yes it is)

Yeah, eeh-eeh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, eeh-eeh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We′ve always been humble (oh, yeah)
Too scared to be proud (yes, we have)
I think it's time that we all stand and say
That we love our home out loud


Sunburned country
I'm proud to say that′s where I′m from
In a sunburned country
It's always gonna be my home (yeah)

In a sunburned country
Her magic and her mystery (yeah, yeah)
In a sunburned country
Forever will be home to me
Yeah, that′s where my heart is truly free (yes it is)

Yeah, eeh-eeh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Yeah, eeh-eeh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on baby

How I love all the people
And I love all the sounds
Sleeping under a tin roof
With a hard rain coming down

Yeah, eeh-eeh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, eeh-eeh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Eeh-eeh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, eeh-eeh
Yeah, yeah, yeah (whoa)
