Kilometres are still miles to me
They separate from home and family
Now I can't count the white posts,
They're not where they used to be,
Kilometres are still miles to me
Oh, it used to be five hundred
From Melbourne to Sydney Town,
Now it seems longer
Every time the run comes 'round.
But I just keep a churning on
Just to stand on my two feet
But I'm weighed down in metrics,
Yes kilometres are still miles to me
They separate from home and family
Now I can't count the white posts,
They're not where they used to be,
Kilometres are still miles to me
The familiar sign are gone
And I'm wondering why.
I know the dog is still
Five miles from Gundagai.
Pumping litres more than gallons
Into this old rig
And my seven ounce at the end of the day
Is two hundred mils too big
Yes kilometres are still miles to me
They separate from home and family
Now I can't count the white posts,
They're not where they used to be,
Kilometres are still miles to me
