Lyrics :

Sometimes I wish things were better
But most times I'd settle for different
Just to know that the day that's waiting for me
Ain't the same one that I just spent

I think I'll sail to Australia
Take these old days off of my hands
Drink a beer by the Indian Ocean
Make love right there on the sand

My only family is my father
And he can take care of himself
He don't need me like I need to know
The sight of someplace else

I think I'll sail to Australia
Take these old days off of my hands
Drink a beer by the Indian Ocean
Make love right there on the sand

They speak English in Australia
And it won't be hard to make new friends
To see myself as other people see me
Without knowing just where I've been

I think I'll sail to Australia
Take these old days off of my hands
Drink a beer by the Indian Ocean
Make love right there on the sand
