I wanted to say something about the beautiful country I live in, but I guess I can't say it any better than the words below ...
Driving down the road under the southern light
Looking back to see where we've come from
As we watched the sun go down
Rain it fell like diamonds from Kimberley mines
On the road to Jo'burg with the dying light
Farewell Durban City of Natal
Stopped a while to stretch my thoughts
As we crossed the borderline and into Transvaal
I saw the sun go down
Under the southern skies
Over and over
I'll always remember those beautiful African nights
In the old V W, we'd count the miles
We travelled with a friend whose name was Farr
The stories that he told us talked of faces times and places
Sang and played his guitar
Driving down the road we hear the morning rise
Leaving all the past so far behind
The sound man played the Eagles as we listen
'Take it easy' Echoes on through our lives
I saw the sun go down
Under the southern skies
Over and over
I'll
always remember, I still hear them call
No matter how far those beautiful African nights
