Best things in life are free
About this song
This song had the most makeovers of all songs we wrote so far. We changed the melody and lyrics many times. The topic has not changed.
We wrote the song when still living in the hustle of the big city Perth, longing for time away in the southwest with cool air, slow pace and time for ourselves. Whiskers is the name of our bus. We value the things that do not cost money and think the best things in life cannot be purchased.
You know what your best things are, probably not things…
Lyrics
We’ve been stuck in the city for more than a year
We gotta head to the country and get outta here
Leaving the big smoke
We can’t wait to smell the forest
Heading down the freeway, more than three hours
Whiskers is humming and the music’s loud
An hour down the road
You already feel like a tourist
Come with me I’ll take you along
Playing some music and having fun
I come with you, won’t you take me along
The best things in life are free (3x)
Oh the further down south the cooler the air
Make some space for your soul to repair
Take a deep breath
It’s up to you
Stop thinking about time and go with the flow
New things connect with what you know
Trust yourself
Now it’s only you who matters
Come with me and I’ll take you along
Playing some music and having fun
I come with you, won’t you take me along
The best things in life are free (3x)
We were walking the Cape to Cape Track last week
After the fires the bush is far from its peak
The moon bathing place took our breaths away
It was magic
In Nannup it’s Festival time of the year
The jammers try to drink the bowling club out of beer
This is not the end of the show
Come with me and I’ll take you along
Playing some music and having fun
I come with you, won’t you take me along
The best things in life are free (3x)
