[Verse 1]
     D
It's road train dust on a Bulloo track
     G
It's canefields getting lit
     D
It's combine lights before the dawn
        G              F#   Em
It's an Uluru sunset
                                      G
It's forty thousand years of dreaming
              A
The heartland keeps on beating

[Chorus]
D                                 A
That's us flying down an old dirt road
                                    Em
That's us driving through fields of gold

Getting high on a country station
G                     A
Rollin' through this backroad nation
D                              A
That's us and I got you next to me
                            Em
Right here is where I wanna be

We got a good vibration
G                     A
Livin' in a backroad nation

Wooaahh
D   G

[Verse 2]
     D
It's wild and free it's a saltbush sea
      G
Itâ's pink gallahs in flight
     D
It's out of town it's a tailgate down
       G                      F#   Em
It's a campfire in the night
                                          G
A way of life, it's the life we're living
                    A
As long as this big world keeps spinning

[Chorus]
D                                 A
That's us flying down an old dirt road
                                    Em
That's us driving through fields of gold

Getting high on a country station
G                    A
Rollin' through this backroad nation
D                               A
That's us and I got you next to me
                            Em
Right here is where I wanna be

We got a good vibration
G                    A
Livin' in a backroad nation

Wooaahh
D   G

Wooaahh
D   G

[Bridge]
     Bm               A
It's unsung towns and ancient ground
  G
A road that never ends
         Bm                 A
It's the homeland song that when you're gone
G
Calls you home again


[Chorus No Bass]

D                                 A
That's us flying down an old dirt road
                                    Em
That's us driving through fields of gold

Getting high on a country station
 G                      A
Rollin' through this backroad nation

[Start Bass]

D                                A
That's us and I got you next to me
                            Em
Right here is where I wanna be

We got a good vibration
G                     A
Livin' in a backroad nation
