[Verse 1]
Brown like my eyes
Cold in the river tonight
There's a hundred cities not as pretty as you
Yeah, you've always been there
Yeah, you always come through

[Pre-Chorus]
But if I died and went to heaven
Then heaven would be this place
Maybe I'm smitten, bitten by the brown snake

[Chorus]
It winds around this country town
Sometimes a flood brings us to tears
It's in our blood
Through all the years, it got my heart
The brown snake, a work of art, a work of art

[Verse 2]
Brown like my skin
Where my first memories begin
It's never too late to see the needle from Expo 88
It's always raining, yeah, in the Sunshine State

[Pre-Chorus]
But if I died and went to heaven
Then heaven would be this place
Maybe I'm smitten, bitten by the brown snake
[Chorus]
It winds around this country town
Sometimes a flood brings us to tears
It's in our blood
Through all the years, it got my heart
The brown snake (The brown snake), a work of art, a work of art

[Outro]
It's in my blood (It's in my blood)
Through all the years, it got my heart
The brown snake (The brown snake), a work of art, a work of art
