2000 Clicks - William Crighton

2000 Clicks Lyrics

2000 clicks from the Queensland border
Lying in a ditch out west of Wagga
Waiting on a ride from my only little brother
He’s been smoking up and drinking like my mother
We were kids in the back of a white Sentura
Cold Chisel records and long straight roads
Clip around your ears when you talk back to her
Kids in the back of a white Sentura
Would I change anything? I don’t know
Water in the river runs where the river goes
When I close my eyes, we’re still a couple of kids
Dreaming about running 2000 clicks
Never moved far, never settled down
Never far away from any trouble in town

When a white tail get you, the poison sticks around
Never far away from any trouble in town
Would I change anything? I don’t know
Water in the river runs where the river goes
When I close my eyes, we’re still a couple of kids
Dreaming about running 2000 clicks
Tonight, I went down to the punt
Put it all on a greyhound and it got up
Took that old Sentura parked out in the lane
Headed north, come unstuck in the rain
Would I change anything? I don’t know
Water in the river runs where the river goes
When I close my eyes, we’re still a couple of kids
Dreaming about running 2000 clicks
2000 clicks from the Queensland border
Lying in a ditch out west of Wagga
Having a laugh with my scrawny little brother
2000 clicks from the Queensland border
