Packin up your old guitar
You say your gonna be a star in Tamworth
You're polishin' your high heel boots

Packin' all your you beaut' suits for Tamworth

But can you sing the news?

Can you sing a sad song?
Can you tell the stories of our land?
Can you make a mark? Can you cause a spark?

Do you think you really understand?

It's no good singin' Nashville songs

You know they really don't belong in Tamworth
Aussie's what it's all about
Don't you ever have a doubt in Tamworth


Ohhh,can sing the news?
Can you sing a sad song?

Can you tell the stories of our land?
Can you make a mark? Can you cause a spark?
Do you think you really understand?


[Instrumental]


Can sing the news?
Can you sing a sad song?
Can you tell the stories of our land?

Can you make a mark? Can you cause a spark?
Do you think you really understand?


You're packin' up your old guitar
You say your gonna be a star in Tamworth
You're polishin' your high heel boots

Packin' all your you beaut' suits for Tamworth

Ohhh can sing the news?

Can you sing a sad song?
Can you tell the stories of our land?
Can you make a mark? Can you cause a spark?

Do you think you really understand?
Yeah!
