lyrics

I was driving through the Otways just trying to kill some time
And in the seat right next to me was a very dear friend of mine
Day and night we rolled along only stopping to get some sleep
Searching for a good time with no particular place to be

We left our homes, we left our friends, said bye to our families
Said we'd see 'em again but not sure when, and we took off into the trees
With money tight we'd sometimes fight, though we knew it wasn't smart
Down at times on our hands and knees just praying for the car to start

Point your boots towards the setting sun
Let the light shine on your face
Let the eastern winds begin to push you the right way

On the road we passed a man who looked down on his luck
His clothes were wet, his eyes were sad, we could see that he was stuck
No room to spare, we drove on by but I hope he found some friends
I still think of him from time to time, but mostly when it rains

Point your boots towards the setting sun
Let the light shine on your face
Let the eastern winds begin to push you the right way

Point your boots towards the setting sun
Let the light shine on your face
Let the eastern winds begin to push you the right way
