[Verse 1]
Now is the right time, to start driving off
To where the spirit that becomes the land
It's time to go we're on the dusty highway
Heading home, heading bush
Katherine, Bulman, Mainoru Station
Gu marrtjiana wanga'lili
Packing up, driving off, breaking down, getting lost
As the sun goes down
[Chorus]
Central Arnhem Highway on my mind
When I think of you, I leave my troubles far behind
(Oh)
[Verse 2]
Dhuwala wanga bulman'dja
Dhuwala wanga beswick'dja
Dhuwala wanga Barunga'dja
Dhuwala wanga Katherine'dja
[Chorus]
Central Arnhem Highway on my mind
When I think of you, I leave my troubles far behind
Oo-oh, let's go, let's go right now
Oo-oh, hit the road, hit the road right now
[Bridge]
I’ve been driving for a long time
Just to get back home
I’ve been waiting for a long time
Just to get back
I’ve been waiting for a long time
Just to get back
[Chorus]
Central Arnhem Highway on my mind
When I think of you, I leave my troubles far behind
[Outro]
When we get there I'll show you the southern stars
The stories that join us, you'll be by my side
Oo-oh, let's go, let's go right now
Oo-oh, hit the road, hit the road right now
Oo-oh, let's go, let's go right now
Oo-oh, hit the road, hit the road right now
