Last Frontier - Jimmy Barnes

Pushin ever westward, across the great divide

Beyond the darling river

Towards the outback sky

The lawless and the brave, searching for a dream

When all they found was sand and stone

Where rivers once had been

They tried to follow nomads, like ghosts in desert dreams

And suffered in a sunburnt land

Down in the last frontier

CHORUS:

And they sent them from the motherlands

Into the greatest fear

To live and die for freedoms cry

Down in the last frontier

A drover rides in search of work, across the sweeping plains

A farmer kneels in a hungry church

As his children pray for rain

Back in a land across the sea

They found another war

They asked the Anzacs to believe

In what their fighting for

CHORUS:

And they sent them to another land

Into the greatest fear

To fight and die for freedoms cry

And for the last frontier

People in the luckly land, who searched for paradise

Are reaching out for something more

And they don’t believe their lies

The promises of hope and work, still ringing in their ears

The hungry and the homeless cry

Down in the last frontier

CHORUS:

And they sent them to another land

Into the greatest fear

To live and die for freedoms cry

And for the last frontier

The promises of hope and work, still ringing in their ears

The hungry and the homeless cry

Down in the last frontier

The last frontier

The last frontier
