Working remote, so far from home More debts than I can stand It ain’t no joke, mortgaged and broke Strayed from my budget plan Fly-in, fly-out, I’m on the road again Fly-in, fly-out, all my time on the road I spend “Daddy’s never home” my young kids moan No clue what I go through I never know, I’m in which time zone? My body clock’s askew Fly-in, fly-out, I’m on the road again Fly-in, fly-out, all my time on the road I spend Driving blind through red eyes Following the white lines To get home see the family by daytime One more time On my way, another Groundhog Day Was this to be my fate? My wife estranged, my kids dismayed But can they truly appreciate that I… Fly-in, fly-out, I’m on the road again Fly-in, fly-out, all my time on the road I spend Fly-in, fly-out, to keep the family home and fed Fly-in, fly-out, I don’t regret one day of it Following the white lines And the roos’ shining eyes As the gantries pass me by all through the night Fly-in, fly-out

Truth 03:41
You, you’re stuck in time Can’t seem to find, why you run the race Can’t find your place It’s all the same, nothing will change Now is your time to rise Reach out and grab the truth And it will come back to you Just open your mind and realise The truth will come back to you Now start to believe, open your eyes and see Now is your time to rise Reach out and grab the truth And it will come back to you Just open your eyes and realise The truth will come back to you Now rise, reach out and grab the truth And it will come back to you Just open your mind and realise The truth will come back to you Reach out and grab the truth And it will come back to you Just open your eyes and realise The truth will come back to you

What will I do, what will I do without you? I have no clue, how can I make it through? I’m just scared I’m going to lose control Scared you want to let me go Words can’t explain the fear and doubt inside me The hurt and pain, the black cloud hanging round me I’m so scared I’m going to lose control Scared and so I’ll let you go I’ll take your beer, you drink my wine Time to hit the road, I’m losing time Need to leave my bitter heart behind We’re done, my dear, you will be fine I’m out of here, going offline So I’ll grab a beer and you can drink my wine Hey, listen! I’m not broken, so why keep trying to fix me? Your words unspoken and yet they still affect me And you’re always trying to keep control So you’re going to have to go I’ll take your beer, you drink my wine Time to hit the road, I’m losing time Need to leave my bitter heart behind We’re done, my dear, you will be fine I’m out of here, going offline So I’ll grab a beer and you can keep my wine We know not everyone can stay together We know not everyone is meant forever Be together, stay forever, altogether I’ll take your beer, you drink my wine Time to hit the road, I’m losing time Need to leave my bitter heart behind We’re done, my dear, you will be fine I’m out of here, going offline So I’ll grab a beer and you can drink the wine I’ll take your beer, you drink my wine

Kokoda Track 03:31
It’s so easy to stand, yes, to stand in the crowd but tough to stand alone And so easy when taking the easy way out when you have no backbone Yes, it’s easy to stand, getting cash in your hand when you sell yourself out On your feet you will land, sucking up to the man when you’re soul is bought out So when your back’s to the wall and they’re locking your doors, nowhere to go at all When you’re under attack, stand up, you’ve got to push back Just remember Kokoda, the Kokoda Track Standing up for what’s good and what’s right you must fight overwhelming odds Standing up for what’s true you must fight for what’s right, standing up to the boss Courage, endurance and mateship, on broad shoulders we unite Standing up for what’s real and what’s right we’ll fight and sacrifice Fighting the toughest campaign, stranded in pouring rain, guts climbs the highest terrain Into your soul they will hack, so don’t get stabbed in the back Just remember Kokoda, the Kokoda Track Courage, endurance and mateship, on broad shoulders we unite Standing up for what’s real and what’s right we’ll fight and sacrifice So when your back’s to the wall and they’re locking your doors, nowhere to go at all Fighting the toughest campaign, stranded in pouring rain, guts climbs the highest terrain A bully poking your chest, strap on a bulletproof vest, don’t let yourself be oppressed When you’re under attack, mate, I’ll be watching your back Always remember Kokoda, the Kokoda Track

You find your life ain’t so easy today You’ve got a love and it’s going away You gotta drop it, you can’t stop it Since things have turned to a difficult way I’m just cruising down the highway of life I’m just leaving all my baggage behind, tonight! Future getting clearer, no rearview mirror Just let it go and leave my baggage behind Ain’t no stopping, chasing the horizon Find me a new state of mind and leave my baggage behind And now we’re moving, radio grooving We’ve got a new life and it’s rocking today We gotta make it, just can’t fake it We’re gonna push on to a brand new day We’re just cruising down the highway of life I’m just leaving all my baggage behind, all right! Future getting clearer, no rearview mirror Just let it go and leave my baggage behind Ain’t no stopping, chasing the horizon Find me a new state of mind and leave my baggage behind The future’s clearer, no rearview mirror Just let it go and leave my baggage behind Ain’t no stopping, chasing the horizon Find me a new state of mind Future getting clearer, no rearview mirror Just let it go and leave my baggage behind Ain’t no stopping, chasing the horizon Find me a new state of mind and leave my baggage behind

We ventured out Did what we had to, got what we came for The spoils are ours King and for country, got what we came for What explorers saw Was not man, readied with spear It was something more We made disappear, won’t take the blame for They are engineers Buildings and dams, and intricate systems That’s not what you hear According to conventional wisdom What explorers saw Was all razed, razed to the ground What was here before Won’t make a sound, silenced; the victim Club and the cloak were all that we wrote No more to see Dim v. the bold, just watch it unfold This will be how history gets told What explorers saw Was all razed, razed to the ground What was here before Won’t make a sound, silenced; the victim Club and the cloak they were all that we wrote No more to see Dim v. the bold, just watch it unfold This will be our history Club and the cloak they were all that we wrote No more to see Dim v. the bold just watch it unfold This will be how history gets told

Down again, frown again, never been, born to win Clown again, drown again, never been one to win Alone and bored, so self-absorbed, nowhere to run, feeling overcome Falling down again, I’m shedding skin, living in sin They give you the runaround, push you to the ground Leave you gagged and bound I tell you life’s a bitch so eat the shit sandwich Self-pity, ignominy, hard to see when you’re all at sea I know it hurts, seems like a curse, you don’t need a hearse, so it could be worse Just try to see the actuality then maybe you’ll be free They’ll give you the runaround, push you to the ground Leave you gagged and bound I tell you life’s a bitch so eat the shit sandwich You know you’ll never win, so you pack it in, take it on the chin Just get it over with, yeah, eat the shit sandwich If we try to see the actuality, only then can we ever be free They’ll give you the runaround, push you to the ground Leave you gagged and bound I tell you life’s a bitch so eat the shit sandwich You know you’ll never win, so you pack it in, take it on the chin Just get it over with, yeah, eat the shit sandwich

I’m not scared, feeling all right On my bed, it’s out of sight Heaven sent, with you tonight No more cares, we’re feeling all right Look ahead, it’s looking all right In good stead, it’s out of sight Love will spread, with you tonight No fear or dread, we’re feeling all right I’m not scared, feeling all right On my bed, it’s out of sight We break bread, feeling all right No seeing red, it’s out of sight Love embed, with you tonight Not misled, we’re feeling all right We’re not scared, feeling all right On our bed, feeling all right Heaven sent, feeling all right No more cares, feeling all right

I saw the tear and I felt it too And I can’t imagine what it’s like being you But don’t fear now, you just stay true to What you know is real and all that you do For the stars you see they shine so bright The same ones that I see at night, use them as your guiding light Even far away we’re near, the sky for us is always clear Hold memories made, oh, so dear And get on with the job, son You just get it done and work on it one by one No time for fun, just take another lap of the sun The sacrifice, well, I know it’s real It’s the ultimate price to seal the deal A better person waits on the other side So your noble efforts fill me full of pride One now done, two still to tend Adversity you will contend, is it all worth it in the end? The toll of time it will pervade, but if good decision’s made Baton passed, our light will not fade So get on with the job, son You just get it done and work on it one by one No time for fun, just take another lap of the sun Don’t stop and smell flowers, it’s ten-thousand hours You work on it one by one You’ll feel more empowered as we take another lap of the sun

Running round and round, flying up and down All around the town, this girl gets around Here she comes, prowling again Hear her growling, stalking again She’s rolling into town Hide, don’t make a sound Ain’t nothin’ like her, a loving machine She’ll be the queen, of your wet dreams Is it the world you want? (The million-dollar question) Wanna fill your vault? (The million-dollar question) Is it all my fault? (The million-dollar question) Can’t get what you want? (The million-dollar question) Jump at any sound, makes your heart pound Fear she comes around, leave you gagged and bound Here she comes, prowling again Hear her growling, stalking again She’s going to pull you down Make you her clown Ain’t nothing like her, a killing machine She’ll haunt your dreams, be your scream queen Is it the world you want? (The million-dollar question) Wanna fill your vault? (The million-dollar question) Is it all my fault? (The million-dollar question) Can’t get what you want? (The million-dollar question) She’ll haunt your dreams Gonna make you scream That love machine Is it the world you want? (The million-dollar question) Wanna fill your vault? (The million-dollar question) Is it all my fault? (The million-dollar question) Can’t get what you want? (The million-dollar question) It’s a million It’s a million-dollar question

Tried to escape the pain but seemed to lose my way Wanted space just for a day Out in the ocean I could while it all away And there I wanted to stay Been out riding on the swell so long Out at sea when it’s with you I belong Your perfect shadow on the beach gets long As the sun sets, time to catch the last wave home Out in the sunshine I could lose all track of time Living like that I felt was fine Surfing with dolphins but it’s feeling like I’m losing you and I resign Been out riding on the swell so long Out at sea when it’s with you I belong Your perfect shadow on the beach gets long As the sun sets, time to catch the last wave home Down for so long, don’t know what I did so wrong Now in a song, I can let go and let it move on Been out riding on the swell so long Out at sea when it’s with you I belong Your perfect shadow on the beach gets long As the sun sets, time to catch the last wave home

Signing Off 03:58
It’s easy being all alone, to walk around with a frown Getting harder everyday to stop free-falling down The black dog is always stalking and something’s got to give Missing out on all things good in life when I just want to live Signing off, and now I’m signing off, heading home, for so long I’ve been gone Shut down, park, just walk away, no more will I accept Excuses, flakes and sycophants, and promises not kept Take control of it from here, yeah, the future’s in my hands Return to where it all began, place my feet on burning sands Signing off, and now I’m signing off, heading home, for so long I’ve been gone Signing off, had enough, signing off, heading home, for so long all alone Time, it cannot heal Until I control the wheel Offloading baggage from the past to be back home for good Surrounded by the ones I love, exactly as I should Signing off, and now I’m signing off, heading home, for so long I’ve been gone Signing off, had enough, signing off, heading home, for so long all alone Time, it cannot heal Until I control the wheel
