The faces in the photograph have faded
And I can't believe he looks so much like me
For it's been ten years today
Since I left for Old Cork Station
Sayin' I won't be back till the drivin's done

[Chorus]
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
For the years have surely gone
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
And I won't be back till the drivin's done

Well it seems like the sun comes up each mornin'
Sets me up and takes it all away
For the dreaming by the light 
Of the camp fire at night
Ends with the burning by the day

[Chorus]

Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney
But it's been so long it's hard to change my mind
For the cattle trail goes on and on
And the fences roll forever
And I won't be back till the drivin's done

[Chorus: x2]
