[Verse 1]
Look at that farm truck, just won't give up
Patch it, weld it, make it run
Days getting hotter, so you flick the barometer
Down gets rain and up gets none
I am a fuel gauge, I am the weather
Plan for the worse and hope for the better

[Chorus]
Gonna lose some bark, gonna get knocked flat
Just keep going 'cause the bush comes back
If the rain won't fall, the sky turns black
Gotta keep going 'cause the bush comes back
The bush comes back, the bush comes back
Better get ready 'cause the bush comes back, oh

[Verse 2]
There's black smoke rising, fills the horizon
Chokes out the light of the midday sun
Dad's on the dozer, Pops on the loader
Up like a banshee, here she comes
'Cross the firebreak, jumps the creek
Hasn't burned there since '93

[Chorus]
Gonna lose some bark, gonna get knocked flat
Just keep going 'cause the bush comes back
If the rain won't fall, the sky turns black
Gotta keep going 'cause the bush comes back
The bush comes back, the bush comes back
Better get ready 'cause the bush comes back, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Woo

[Bridge]
Nobody knows if it's gonna be boom or bust
Nobody knows if we're gonna get mud or dust

[Chorus]
But if you lose some bark and you get knocked flat
Just keep going 'cause the bush comes back
When it's touch and go, and you know you're strapped
And the rain won't fall, the sky turns black
You dig in your heels and you put on your hat
And you just keep going 'cause the bush comes back
The bush comes back, the bush comes back
The bush comes back, the bush comes back
The bush comes back, so
You better get ready 'cause the bush comes back, hey

[Outro]
Hey
Oh
Ha
