"Sunburned Country" Lyrics

Duet: Keith Urban & Olivia Newton-John

I carry her with me
I carry her pride
Whenever I speak her name
My soul, it comes alive.

She taught me to be strong
She taught me to fight
And I'm who I am today
Because she raised me right.

In a sunburned country
Her magic and her mystery
In a sunburned country
Forever will be home to me
Yeah, that's where my heart is truly free.

The creeks and the rivers
The dust and the mud
All of us understand
This land gets in your blood (yes it does.)

The sight of the blue gums
And black cockatoos
White snow Kosciusko
Red rock Uluru.

In a sunburned country
Her magic and her mystery
In a sunburned country
Forever will be home to me
Yeah, that's where my heart is truly free.

We've always been humble (oh, yeah)
Too scared to be proud (yes, we have)
I think it's time that
We all stand and say
We love our home out loud.

In a sunburned country
I'm proud to say that's where I'm from
In a sunburned country
That's always gonna be my home
In a sunburned country
Her magic and her mystery
In a sunburned country
Forever will be home to me
Yeah, that's where my heart is truly free.

Oh, I love all the people
And I love all the sounds
Sleeping under a tin roof
With a hard rain coming down...
