Driving down the road
|
Under the southern light
|
Looking back to see
|
Where we've come from
|
As we watched the sun go down
|
Rain it fell like diamonds
|
From Kimberley mines
|
On the road to Jo'burg
|
With the dying light
|
Farewal Durban
|
City of Natal
|
Stopped a while to stretch my thoughts
|
As we crossed the borderline
|
And into Transvaal
|
|
I saw the sun go down
|
Under the southern skies
|
Over and over
|
I'll always remember
|
Those beautiful African nights
|
|
In the old VW
|
We'd count the miles
|
We travelled with a friend
|
Whose name was Farr
|
The stories that he told us
|
Talked of faces
|
Times and places
|
Sang and played his guitar
|
|
Driving down the road
|
We hear the morning rise
|
Leaving all the past
|
So far behind
|
The sound man played the Eagles
|
As we listen
|
"Take It Easy"
|
Echoes on through our lives
|
|
I saw the sun go down
|
Under the southern skies
|
Over and over
|
I'll always remember
|
I still hear them call
|
No matter how far
|
Those beautiful African nights
|
