Jimmy Barnes Last Frontier Lyrics

Last Frontier Lyrics

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
