lyrics

"Australia"
by Andrew Delaney & Nicolette Good

I wish I'd seen Australia
I wish I'd done more drugs
Wish I'd spent less time in churches
Wish I'd spent more time in love
Wish I was leavin' more behind me
However great or small
Oh hell, I wish I wasn't leavin' here at all

You can take my guitar
Take my alligator boots
Take my whole record collection
Better leave my favorite suit
You can take my last words
To carve in stone for all to see
Or you can take me home
And tell me it's just a dream

And if I prayed
I think I'd pray
For nothin' to pray for
Cause I's never really seachin' for a sign
So you can save the message for some other sould, Good Lord
I'd only like to waste a little bit more of my time

Cause I wish I'd seen Australia
I wish I'd done more drugs
Wish I'd spent less time in churches
Wish I'd spent more time in love
Wish I was leavin' more behind me
However great or small
I wish I wasn't leavin' here at all
I wish I wasn't leavin' here at all
