Bow River Songtext
von Jimmy Barnes

Woh, oh, listen now to the wind babe
And listen now to the rain
I feel that water, lickin′ at my feet again
And I don't wanna see this town no more
Wasting my days on a factory floor
(What you laughin′ at? Careful of him...)
The first thing you know, I'll be back in Bow River
Yes, the first thing you know, I will be back in Bow River
Yes, the first thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again

Anytime you want babe, you can come around
Only six days separate me from the great top end
I been working hard, twelve hours a day
The money I save won′t buy my youth again (hey)
I′m going t'ward the heat babe, the tropical rain
In a place where no man′s puttin' on the dog for me
I′m waitin' on the weekend, set o′ brand new tyres, yeah
I'm back in Bow River, just where I want to be


Oh, listen now to the wind babe
Listen now to the rain
I feel that water licking at my feet again
I don't wanna see this town no more
Too many years made up my mind to go or stay
Right to my dying day
I don′t wanna see another engine line
Too many years and I owe my mind
First set o′ wheels headin' back to Bow River again
The first thing you know I′ll be back in Bow River again

Come on play that saxophone

David, play that guitar

Clayton Doley on the organ

I got the motor running, I got the rest of my days
Well, I sold everything I owned for just a song, yeah
So anytime you want babe, you can come around
But don't leave it too late, you just might find me gone

Oh listen now to the wind babe
Listen now to the rain
I feel that water licking at my feet again, come on
I don′t wanna see this town no more
Too many years made up my mind to go or stay
Right to my dying day
I don't wanna see another engine line
Too many years and I owe my mind
First set o′ wheels, headin' back to Bow River again


A first thing-
I don't need the door
Gonna tell the man, I don′t want no more
Pick up a fast car, burn my name in the road
One week, two week, maybe even more
I piss all my money up against the damn wall
First thing you know I′ll be back in Bow River again
The first thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again
The first thing you know I′ll be, back in Bow River, (easy for you to say) again
