[[Verse 1: Keith Urban]
I carry her with me (uh)
I carry her pride
Whenever I speak her name
My soul, it comes to life
[Verse 2: Keith Urban and Olivia Newton-John]
She taught me to be strong
She taught me to fight
And I'm who I am today
Because she raised me right
(Yes she did)
[Chorus: Keith Urban and Olivia Newton-John]
In a sunburned country
Her magic and her mystery
In a sunburned country
Forever will be home to me
Yeah that's where my heart is truly free
(Yes it is)
Yeah eee hee ee ee
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah eee hee ee ee
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Verse 3: Olivia Newton-John]
The creeks and the rivers (oh)
The dust and the mud
(Oh, the dust and the mud)
All of us understand
This land gets in your blood
(Yes, it does)
[Verse 4: Keith Urban and Olivia Newton-John]
The sight of the blue gums
And black cockatoos
White snow Kosciusko
Red rock Uluru
(Yeah, sing it with me now)
[Chorus: Keith Urban and Olivia Newton-John]
In a sunburned country
Her magic and her mystery
In a sunburned country
Forever will be home to me
Yeah that's where my heart is truly free

[Verse 5: Keith Urban]
We've always been humble
(Oh yeah)
Too scared to be proud
(Yes we have)
[Verse 6: Olivia Newton-John]
I think its time that
We all stand and say that
We love our home out loud
[Chorus: Keith Urban and Olivia Newton-John]
Sunburned country
I'm proud to say that's where I'm from
In a sunburned country
That's always gonna be my home
