A Bushman Can't Survive Lyrics - Singles - Kernaghan Tania

A city girl is happy with her friends and family life 

Appreciates a wine with him at night 

She tries to find the sparkle she searchs but it's gone 

With lots of love she hopes he'll be alright 

Her man has gone all quiet e's not at ease 

He doesn't feel at home hes hard to please 

He gets itchy feet he's tired of noises in the street 

He needs to walk for hours through the trees 

CHORUS 

No a bushman cant survive on city lights 

Opera rock and roll and height of heights 

His moon shines on the silver brigalow 

Shimmers down the inland river flow 

Out there where the yellow belly bite 

He's working with his hands today on a building site 

He can smell the cypress on the floor 

It takes him to a sandy ridge out amongst the pines 

No shearing no ploughing anymore 

His kelpie dog is tired and fast asleep 

Tired of searching gardens for the sheep 

His mater doesn't whistle tunes he's not in the mood 

His love for open spaces runs too deep 

CHORUS 

He tries to please his woman the lady of his life 

He's standing at a party with a plate 

She finds him on the balcony staring at the moon 

An old familiar face he can relate 

CHORUS 

His moon shines on the silver brigalow 

Shimmers down the inand river 

Out there where the yelloe belly bite
