[00:00:09] He sat by the door of the grand old Birdsville Pub

[00:00:16] His swag and gear guarded by a faithful heeler dog

[00:00:23] He wore a shirt that would blind ya and a rumpled ringer's hat

[00:00:31] This old man was country he left no doubt of that

[00:00:37] There was legend in the lines of his weather beaten face

[00:00:44] Those eyes had seen a lot of changes Aussie race

[00:00:52] The passing of the horseman the death of an ace

[00:00:59] Seems to me he's doubys that we've turned a better page

[00:01:05] He sat there hillbilly pickin' on a cracked and battered Gibson

[00:01:11] And the songs that he sang were all his

[00:01:16] Every song told a story and the more I'd listen

[00:01:23] The more I realized this is where country is

[00:02:12] Home in this early frontier country was lonely dirt floor Humphrey

[00:02:19] No doubt about it this man knows where country is

[00:02:30] His songs told how they did it and I felt a sense of shame

[00:02:37] And I wondered if the battler would ever be again

[00:02:44] His pride for his country rang true in every song

[00:02:51] And I wondered if the chips were down I would be as strong

[00:02:57] He sat there hillbilly pickin' on a cracked and battered Gibson

[00:03:04] And the songs that he sang were all his

[00:03:09] Every song told a story and the more I'd listen

[00:03:16] The more I realized this is where country is

[00:03:23] It's mate we're so far from the city here

[00:03:28] Know what - that's where country is
