- Fast Boat To Sydney Lyrics

Oh, I am a cheat and I'm a liar, oh, but you're a lovin' ball of fire
I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney

I said, listen to me, baby, I gave up the lovin' trade
I'm tired of all this runnin', jumpin', playin'
But you're like it down under the world with the Australian girls
And there's not a word of truth in what you're sayin'

Oh, but I am a cheat and I'm a liar and you're a lovin' ball of fire
Honey, I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney

This is my greatest act, I've come boomerangin' back
Grinnin' like a Rudolf Valentino
But then you grab your travel load like a swingin' grimmin' dog
And hopped on that fast boat to Sydney

'Cause I'm a cheat and I'm a liar but you're a lovin' ball of fire
Honey, I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney

What is the meaning behind Fast Boat To Sydney lyrics?


When we search for the deeper meaning hidden within the lines, Johnny Cash’s “Fast Boat To Sydney” deals with the difficulties of a tumultuous love affair and that through the metaphors of “the cheating and lying” and “a bum without a penny,” the artist reveals the emotional chaos plus the repeated returning to a very negative love area, which is similar to a boomerang. The love, heartbreak, angst, joy, and empowerment are the main sentiments of the Fast boat to sydney lyrics. However, the song also highlights the great impact of lies and treachery, love and lust, remorse and yearning, and coming back and being forgiven. Deception and dishonesty are among the issues in the lyrics that may be regarded as mature and thus not suitable for the little ones. Admittedly, the language and imagery used through the lyric lines do not betray the very emotional intensity and complexity that qualify for a PG-13 rating.
