lyrics

Every day I write new songs, covering all that I’ve done wrong
Leaving my old ones to wither and die,
But as I lie here on my own, Writing this on my mobile phone
I’m free as a blue bird up in the sky, there go I

Some time ago I went to war, still do not know what I went for
Maybe to look myself in the eye,
Many good men there killed and maimed, many returned but not the same
One day the windscreen, next day the fly

And now I’m back on planet earth Here in the nation of my birth
Here in this country brittle and dry
As I walk past the junkies outside Coles, sunk in their sad and weary souls
I cling to my daughter as I walk by
Guess that I had my wilder days, lucky I made my getaway
Gave away dope I’m more or less dry, there go I

So if you see me in my shame, know that we’re more or less the same
Shuffling under the same autumn sky, there go I
