Bow River lyrics
by Cold Chisel



Listen now to the wind babe

Listen now to the rain

I feel that water lickin' at my feet again

I don't wanna spend my time no more

Wastin' my days on a factory floor

First thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again



Anytime you want me, you can come around

Only six days separates me and the red top end

I've been working hard, twelve hours a day

And the money I saved won't buy my youth again

I'm goin' for the heatwave and the tropical rain

And a place where no man's puttin' on a tour for me

I'm waitin' on the weekend, set o' brand new tires

And back in Bow River's just where I want to be



Listen now to the wind babe

Listen now to the rain

I feel that water lickin' at my feet again

I don't wanna see this town no more

Too many years making up my mind to go or stay

Right to my dying day

I don't wanna see another engine line

Too many years with it on my mind

First set o' wheels and I'll be back Bow River again

First thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again



I've got my motor runnin', I've got the rest of my days

Sold everything I owned for just a song

So anytime you want me, you can come around

But don't leave it too late, you just might find me gone



Listen now to the wind babe . . .



I don't need your job

I'm walking through the door

Gonna tell the man I don't want it no more

Pick up a fast car, burn my name in the road

One week two week maybe even more

Piss all my money up against the damn wall

First thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again
