Background

This song is about the feeling of exhilaration that we all have in driving across the Wivenhoe Dam Wall, because it's only then we've left the concrete jungle behind. It is part of the larger compilation of works that hold to who we are in the Brisbane Valley.

Lyrics

DRIVIN' THE WIVENHOE
Music & Lyrics ©2010 Michael Anthony


Finally out of that city 
can leave it all behind 
the first real taste 
of open space 
now its time to unwind 
 
I love to go through this place 
a ribbon of road so high 
see distant plain 
and waves again 
always a painted sky 
 
Drivin   the Wivenhoe 
quite a while  yet to go 
Drivin   the Wivenhoe 
re-member  to hold it slow 
Drivin   the Wivenhoe 
cold water  down below  
if y‘ dont mind  me sayin so 
I like Drivin  the Wivenhoe 
 
I never take notice of time along here 
the rhythm of my tyres is all I can hear 
 
Glad to be out of that city 
and leave it all behind 
the first real taste 
of open space 
now its time to unwind 
 
Drivin   the Wivenhoe 
quite a while  yet to go 
Drivin   the Wivenhoe 
re-member  to hold it slow 
Drivin   the Wivenhoe 
cold water  down below if y‘  
dont mind  me sayin so I like  
Drivin   the Wivenhoe
