Lee Kernaghan - Diamantina Drover lyrics

rate me

The faces in the photographs are faded

And I can't believe he looks so much like me

For it's been ten long years today

Since I left for old Cork Station

Saying I won't be back 'till the drovin's done.

For the rain never falls on the Dusty Diamantina

The drover finds it hard to change his mind

For the years have surely gone

Like the drays from old Cork Station

And I won't be back 'till the drovin's done.

It seems like the sun comes up each morning

Sets me up and then takes it all away

For the dreaming by the light of the campfire at night

Blends with the burning light of day.

For the rain never falls on the Dusty Diamtina

The drover finds it hard to change his mind

For the years have surely gone

Like the drays from old Cork Station

And I won't be back 'till the drovin's done.

I sometimes think I'll settle back in Sydney

But it's been so long and it's hard to change your mind

For the cattle trays go on and on and the fences roll forever

And I won't be back 'till the drovin's done.

For the rain never falls on the Dusty Diamtina

The drover finds it hard to change his mind

For the years have surely gone

Like the drays from old Cork Station

And I won't be back 'till the drovin's done.
