Verse 2
The engine died on a hill north of Kalkallo
Where he was still within sight of Melbourne town.
He had a dryness in his throat and in his wallet just one note.
Carol Chisholm looked so lonely he could swear that
she was wearing a frown.

Repeat chorus with…”he had a dryness….etc”

Verse 3
He looked back , back to where he’d run from ,
but it was north where he finally fixed his stare.
Thinking that he could have kicked himself
thinking he could just run somewhere else ,
He thought about the suitcase in that broken
down old EJ over there
