Deep down in the desert
Under a Bushfire moon
There's a cowgirl, she's singing out
Some old country tune
All warmed up with whisky
And a flame burning inside
How have you been here Ruby?
You look so pretty on my mind, tonight
Take a walk with my Ruby
Go down to that old water trough
Lets rest a while on that river bed
Lets take things from the top
Cos out there the summer is long
And the winter is blowing dogs off chains
But under these neon lights
It can all seem too strange
To know where to go, from their to here
Baby Blue, You're up their so bright
With a smoke ring for a halo
Around you're head tonight
Shuffling down that old Hindley street parade
Sleeping in the back off a car
I see you see me turn away
In some old dusty car park
Down in the Wild West
Under some blood orange sky
These wounds won't heal themselves
No matter how hard you try
To find time for it all
Baby blue, you're up there so bright
With a smoke ring for a halo
Around your head tonight
Maybe it's you, in that one piece swimming suit
Flying by on a bourbon sky
Im holding onto you baby blue
Thanks for your visit here Ruby
Sure was nice to see you again
Send all my love back to Sydney
I'll come visit you around the bend
Maybe we can take that boat out
Explore the rivers up and down
The time we have won't last forever
When we fall we won't make a sound
We all fall to the ground that's a lie
Baby Blue, your up there with the rest
Smoke ring for your halo
Weighing heavy on my chest
Maybe soon I'll see you in the sky
Flying by on a bourbon night
Im holding onto you baby blue
Deep down in the desert
Under a Nullabor sky
There's a cowgirl, she's singing out
Around a camp fire
