There's a little house down the road
On the edge of a little town
And as far as the eye can see
Nothing else

The coolest time of the day
Is early morning
The midday sun gets so hot
It burns everything
Another day in desert paradise
Somewhere way out back

Well there's something in the magic
Of the land around this little town
The beautiful colors and the sounds
Of seasons going round

A drought can last for years and years
The country burns away
There are children growing up out here
Who've never seen it rain
Another day in desert paradise
Somewhere way out back

All you ever need is right here
The corner store, the country pub
The drive in cinema, a church and a school yard
The hamburger shop and the land, it's endless
It's another day in a desert paradise

There's a little house down the road
On the edge of a little town
And the rain on its hot tin roof
Is such an unfamiliar sound

I can hear the land breathing
A sigh of relief
And the locals are rushing out
Into the streets

See it rain in desert paradise
Another day in desert paradise
See the rain in desert paradise
Somewhere way outback
