Way out west where the rain don't fall
Got a job with a company drilling for oil
Just to make some bread
Living and working on the land
I quit my job and I left my wife
I headed out west for a brand new life
Just to get away
Living and working on the land

The work is hard but the pay is good
And I'd take me a rest if I only could
'Cause it's hot out here
Living and working on the land
They give you a house made of fibrocement
You don't need no money 'cause you don't have no rent
Yeah, it's oh so cheap
Living and working on the land

What a change it's been
From working that nine to five
Oh, how strange it's been
At last I get the feeling that I'm really alive (ooh)

Nothing much to do on a Saturday night
But get into some booze or maybe a fight
'Cause it's tough out here
Living and working on the land
Way out west where the rain don't fall
Got a job with a company drilling for oil
And I ain't gonna leave
Living and working on the land
Ah na na na na na

La la, la la la, la la la
La la, la la la, la la la
La
Living and working on the land
La la, la la la, la la la
La la, la la la, la la la
La
Living and working on the land
