Honey you should see all the stars up there
They shine so bright through the cold night air
I'm gonna build you a fire that'll burn real hot
And I'll stay with you at the old camp hut
In the high country
Chorus

I've got my four-wheel drive and I'm ready to roll

In the high country, in the high country
Verse 3
In the drought of 1882

We'll follow the tracks where they pushed the herd
In the high country

Got my bags packed, I'm ready to roll

Up in the hills where the snow gums stand
You can see forever across this land

headin' for the hi - gh country
headin' for the high country
