Driving down the road under the southern light
Looking back to see where we`ve come from

As we watched the sun go down rain it fell like diamonds

From Kimberley mines

On the road to Jo`burg with the dying light
Farewell Durban city of Natal

Stopped a while to stretch my thoughts as we crossed the borderline
FF
And into Transvaal

In the old VW we`d count the miles
We traveled with a friend whose name was Farr

The stories that he told us talked of places

Times and faces sang and played his guitar

Driving down the road we hear the morning rise
Leaving all the past so far behind

The sound man played the Eagles as we listen

Take It Easy echoes on through our lives
