The Desert Lair Lyrics

I was born way out in a blazin' drought on a cattle drovin' trip
I was raised on beef and I cut my teeth on the handle of a whip
Oh I was never named I was never tamed I'm as wild as a brumby mare
The desert land I roam the desert land's my home
and I'm known as the desert lair
I'm long and lean from the desert land
I was taught to track by a Myall black in the channel country wild
I could hold the lead of a wild stampede when I should been a child
Oh I was never named I was never tamed, I'm as rough as p****ly pear
The desert land I roam the desert land's my home
and I'm known as the desert lair
I'm long and lean from the desert land

[Guitar solo]

Now I never bathe and I never shave I'm as wild as the land that I roam
I just don't fit in with my civilized kin I belong in my desert home
Oh I was never named I was never tamed and I never grieve or care
The desert land I roam the desert land's my home
and I'm known as the desert lair
I'm long and lean from the desert land
Long and lean from the desert land.
