Something's going on round here   But I'm not sure what it is   Just a feeling I can't explain   On these mean and dirty streets      Sitting in my car, crawling inch by inch   In this cold and dirty rain   I think I'll just get outta here   And I won't come back again      I'm flying down the Gold Coast Highway   Feeling like I've grown into my wings   The way they treat you here is just a shame   But I'll always remember   The simple things      There are cowboys in this town   Who'll make a mess of you   They only want to put you down   Because they can't face the truth      Everybody talks so much   But no one's listening   That's why they're all so out of touch   And their words don't mean a thing      I'm flying down the Gold Coast Highway   Feeling like I've grown into my wings   The way they treat you here is just a shame   But I'll always remember   The simple things
