Kilometres are still miles to me They separate from home and family Now I can't count the white posts, They're not where they used to be, Kilometres are still miles to me
Oh, it used to be five hundred From Melbourne to Sydney Town, Now it seems longer Every time the run comes 'round. But I just keep a churning on Just to stand on my two feet But I'm weighed down in metrics, Strange figures get me beat
Yes kilometres are still miles to me They separate from home and family Now I can't count the white posts, They're not where they used to be, Kilometres are still miles to me
[Instrumental]
The familiar sign are gone And I'm wondering why. I know the dog is still Five miles from Gundagai. Pumping litres more than gallons Into diesel rig And my seven ounce at the end of the day Is two hundred mils too big
Yes kilometres are still miles to me They separate from home and family Now I can't count the white posts, They're not where they used to be, Kilometres are still miles to me
