DI was born in a hat town, raised on the Warrego
It's Dhard out here but you tough it out like an old brigalow
From the Gback of the channel country across the western plains
The Droads are straight & dusty and the Afolks are much the Dsame
[Chorus]
GRoots run strong and deep out here in a Dhat town
And we'll Gcarry on down through the years in a Dhat town
Well it Amight be ThargomDindah, it Dmight be Barclay GDowns
If there's a Dpub and a store and Am7not much more
You're Clivin' in an Gold hat Dtown.
DStuck out in a heat haze on a half mile sixty zone
Just a Drag-tag bunch of buildings made of wood and tin and stone
But Gthere's a swag of stories and most of them are true
Of Dhow the locals passed the hat around and Apulled each other Dthrough
[Chorus]
GRoots run strong and deep out here in a Dhat town
And we'll Gcarry on down through the years in a Dhat town
Well it Amight be ThargomDindah, it Dmight be Barclay GDowns
If there's a Dpub and a store and Am7not much more
You're Clivin' in an Gold hat Dtown.

Well we're Drouseabouts and drovers
We're Dbushies tried and true
And we're Dout here for the long haul
We're Anot just blowin' Dthrough
[Chorus]
GRoots run strong and deep out here in a Dhat town
And we'll Gcarry on down through the years in a Dhat town
From the Aback of the channel Dcountry and aDcross the dusty Gdowns
If there's a Dpub and a store and Am7not much more
You're Clivin' in an Gold hat Dtown.
