Country girl

I am a country girl Trying to survive the big city Driving in Sydney is no joke Even with google maps, it’s a pity! It’s not the maps fault It’s the scared driver Tunnels and tolls The speed and multi- channel roads Simple people feel information overload The cars pushing behind the bumper They won’t let one go slow Oh, I missed my exit again What a blow ! I have done the Sydney harbour bridge twice; exited into Kirribilli Enjoyed North Sydney views Done my share of chilling ! One man’s dream, drawn by the other Meticulously calculated by a genius and erected by yet another Between the engineers and workers Man created mountain height structures I salute the daring Will of man I know it’s not natural and all But look at the skyscraper’s Talking to us all ! Giving the message to stand tall ! Who’s dream, whose mind Whose money and who’s paying That’s another days tale Today, just enjoy it girl ! Back in the car again Clammy hands, shaking knees God, help me find the way, please ! I started from St. Lenards, Followed the sign to Lane Cove Passed the Gladesvill Bridge crossed the Paramatta river And went past Anzac Bridge Enjoyed the Aussie flag on both peaks I made a mistake somewhere Ended up on Harbour Bridge again ! O golly gosh, please save my ass ! My phone’s battery is almost flat I am lost with directions What’s the chance without that ! Damn these roads and damn these exits I have finally arrived home Feel jet lagged, as if I have been around the globe Almost safe and sound 10% battery in the phone and my perseverance almost gone
