about

Mick's family have lived in Campbell Town since the beginning. Most Tasmanians only stop in his town to go to the toilet.

lyrics

G'day, my name is Mick and I've been all round this land
When you're born and raised in Campbell Town, you get out while you can
I used to say that people stop here because they need to go (Get it?)
But now I'm back here in my childhood home

My mothers' side arrived in chains, my fathers' side was free
Back when this little village was a scary place to be
See the settler with his rifle? See Eumarrah with his spear?
You can feel it in the air round here

Slow down your wheels
See how it feels
You can heal in Campbell Town
Slow down your wheels
See how it feels
You can heal in Campbell Town

It's a busy little spot in the middle of the day
But by sunset all the cars with kids and dogs are far away
And in my father's house is where I'm gonna stay
And I'll leave it to my son someday

Slow down your wheels
See how it feels
You can heal in Campbell Town
Slow down your wheels
See how it feels
You can heal
You can heal
I can heal in Campbell Town

G'day, my name is Mick and I live in Campbell Town
And I sit on my verandah and I watch the wheels go round and round
I used to say that folks only stop here when they need to go
It's still true, you know
Still true
