[Verse 1]
Now is the right time, to start driving off
To where the spirit that becomes the land
It’s time to go we’re on the dusty highway
Heading bush, heading home
Katherine, Bulman, Mainoru Station!
Gu marrtjiana wanga’lili!
Packing up, driving off, breaking down, getting lost…. As the sun goes down!

[Chorus]
Central Arnhem Highway on my mind
When I think of you I leave my troubles far behind

[Verse 2]
Dhuwala wanga bulman’dja
Dhuwala wanga beswick’dja
Dhuwala wanga Barunga’dja
Dhuwala wanga Katherine’dja

[Chorus]
Central Arnhem Highway on my mind
When I think of you I leave my troubles far behind
Oooooh let’s go, let’s go right now
Oooooh hit the road, hit the road right now

[Bridge]
I’ve been driving for a long time
Just to get back home
I’ve been waiting for a long time
Just to get back
I’ve been waiting for a long time
Just to get back
[Chorus]
Central Arnhem Highway on my mind
When I think of you I leave my troubles far behind
When we get there i’ll show you the southern stars
The stories that join us, you’ll be by my side
Oooooh let’s go, let’s go right now
Oooooh hit the road, hit the road right now
Oooooh let’s go, let’s go right now
Oooooh hit the road, hit the road right now
