Stuck out in a heat haze on a half mile sixty zone Just a rag-tag bunch of buildings made of wood and tin and stone But there's a swag of stories and most of them are true Of how the locals passed the hat around and pulled each other through REPEAT CHORUS SOLO: Well we're rouseabouts and drovers We're bushies tried and true And we're out here for the long haul We're not just blowin' through CHORUS: Roots run strong and deep out here in a hat town And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town From the back of the channel country and across the dusty downs If there's a pub and a store and not much more You're livin' in an old hat town. Ooooh Yodeleyeeeeeeee Livin' in a hat town, livin' in an old hat town Yodeleyeeeeeeee Livin' in a hat town, livin' in an old hat town
