It's hard on those still living here
There's fewer people every year
And housing values are so low
It's getting hard for us to go
If we want to, but we don't want to go.

Chorus:
For this old town's been good, you know
We just can't let it go
We just can't watch it go.

We won't lie down, that's not our way
Our future's here, we want to stay
We'll find the answers, make them clear
Encourage others back to here
There is a future, we'll make our future here.

The countryside still has its charm
It's here old-timers came to farm.
Out in the Pilliga, or in the range
From city life, it makes a change
We have the answer, we know the answer's here.

Chorus:
(last time) And we won't let it go!
