RAINING ON THE PLAINS (Sara storer)
The galahs they know that it's that time Upside down on the power lines Making a family on their minds Raining on the plains again
Can you hear it drumming on that old tin sheet No better sound to make you fall to sleep To dream of tonne crops and big fat sheep Raining on the plains again
Haven't seen the Warrumbungles all day There's a fair chance so the old blokes say Reminds them of the start back in '58 Yeah thunder on the plains again
Looks like the break that we've been looking for And the dogs are doing donuts on the lawn Chasing their tails they can smell the storm Raining on the plains again
You can't make money out of dirt that's dry Bring on the rain from that stormy sky Grab a beer from the fridge And raise it high 'Cause it raining on the plains again
Instrumental break
The last time the dog did that Couldn't get to me ute for the fences and logs Couldn't sleep with noise of the mozzies and the frogs What a storm on the plains again
The galahs they know that it's that time Upside down on the power lines Making a family on their minds Raining on the plains again
No you can't make money out of dirt that's dry Bring on the rain from that stormy sky Grab a beer from the fridge And raise it high 'Cause it raining on the plains again
No you can't make money out of dirt that's dry Bring on the rain from that stormy sky Grab a beer from the fridge And raise it high 'Cause it raining on the plains again
