The Desert Lair |
| I was born way out in a blazin' drought on a cattle drovin' trip |
| I was raised on beef and I cut my teeth on the handle of a whip |
| Oh I was never named I was never tamed I’m as wild as a brumby mare |
| The desert land I roam the desert land’s my home and I’m known as the desert |
| lair |
| I’m long and lean from the desert land |
| I was taught to track by a Myall black in the channel country wild |
| I could hold the lead of a wild stampede when I should been a child |
| Oh I was never named I was never tamed, I’m as rough as prickly pear |
| The desert land I roam the desert land’s my home and I’m known as the desert |
| lair |
| I’m long and lean from the desert land |
| Now I never bathe and I never shave I’m as wild as the land that I roam |
| I just don’t fit in with my civilized kin I belong in my desert home |
| Oh I was never named I was never tamed and I never grieve or care |
| The desert land I roam the desert land’s my home and I’m known as the desert |
| lair |
| I’m long and lean from the desert land |
| Long and lean from the desert land. |
