Lyrics:
I’ve stood on the steps at the Coliseum
I’ve marveled at the Northern Lights
Watch the flicker of the Eiffel Tower on a hot French summer night
Walked the cobbled stoned streets of London
rolled a seven on the Vegas strip
Been on Broadway in New York City
& Loved every minute of it

CHORUS
But there’s nothing like a Silverton sunset
Setting fire to an outback sky
Nothing like taking in the Harbour
from a Manly ferry ride
driving out on a red dirt highway
sleeping under the Territory stars
I’ve seen enough of the world to know that the very best parts
Are right here in our own backyard

I’ve really put a dent in my bucket list
Of all the places I wanted to go
I’ve sipped a few steins at Oktoberfest
Even shot tequila in Mexico
Stood in wonder on the Great Wall of China
Posed like a Beatle on abbey road
Lit a candle at the Taj Mahal
And wrote a song on Music Row
But no matter where I go

But there’s nothing like a Byron Sunrise
The first light on the Southern Land
Nothing like that sky blue water
Crashing on cloud white sand
Standing in an Uluru shadow
Hear the beat of Australia’s heart
I’ve seen enough of the world to know that the very best parts
Right here in our own backyard
