Big galvanised roofs and monster pipes black[00:00:00]

Pink and white clouds from a chimney stack[00:00:04]

Red dust and hawks in the wind out back[00:00:08]

And here I am at the Isa[00:00:10]

What do you do in a town like the Isa[00:00:22]

Retrenched at fifty become an old miser[00:00:24]

Drink yourself blind so you're none the wiser[00:00:26]

Sit at home with the race form and whinge[00:00:29]

Just over the hill in his own backyard[00:00:32]

The landscape becomes a picture postcard[00:00:34]

Where the colours are soft but the life is hard[00:00:37]

On the stations here at the Isa[00:00:40]

Tonight's the night of the rodeo ball[00:00:51]

Before riders and bull and horses stand tall[00:00:53]

While out in the park some black people sprawl[00:00:56]

And share their money on flagons[00:00:59]

There's so much more to be understood[00:01:02]

Before coming out here like Robin Hood[00:01:04]

The do-gooders do more harm than good[00:01:07]

Without really knowing the Isa[00:01:09]

Through the Leichhardt East[00:01:21]

Where fools gold flashes[00:01:22]

Fossick around for Maltese Crosses[00:01:23]

Flog them off to the tourist buses[00:01:26]

See ghost gums under the moon[00:01:28]

Some really battle some make do[00:01:31]

The luckier ones make a quid and pull through[00:01:34]

Some perch at the bar like a caged cockatoo[00:01:36]

But that's nothing new at the Isa[00:01:39]

And it takes a special kind of girl[00:01:50]

To stay out here in this rugged world[00:01:53]

Keep your dignity when the oathes are hurled[00:01:55]

I pay my respects to you[00:01:57]

And I'll raise my glass to an outback town[00:02:00]

To that weathered spirit that won't back down[00:02:03]

It takes the courage of a rodeo clown[00:02:05]

To stick it out at the Isa[00:02:08]

Big galvanised roofs and monster pipes black[00:02:19]

Pink and white clouds from a chimney stack[00:02:23]

Red dust and hawks in the wind out back[00:02:27]

And here I am at the Isa[00:02:30]

Never thought I'd return to this lonely track[00:02:32]

And here I am back at the Isa[00:02:35]
