[Lee Kernaghan - An Ordinary Bloke lyrics]
Jack can you tell me, I don't understand
Why you're breaking your back out
On this wretched land
Why do you do it so though
With so little to show
He shrugged his shoulders and said
It's just what i know
And out in the scrub, he's sinking a bore
He's coverd in grease and
His knuckles are raw but he won't pack it in
'til hte brown water flows
Ask him why and he'll tell you
It's just what he knows
He's just an ordinary bloke
And he's doing us proud
What he's putting in keeps
The wheels going round
Every day he'll be out there
Battling or broke
But he shoulders the country
This ordinary bloke
A neghbour calls up
Says he'll need every man
There's a scrub fire burning and
It's got out of hand
He'll help out his mate
It's just how it goes
And he won't count the cost
It's just what he knows
When war broke out in Europe
Came the call to enlist
And that brave Aussie boy with
That big heart of his
Had something called honor etched
In his bones and he laid down his life
Doing just what he knows
Why you're breaking your back out
On this wretched land
Why do you do it so though
With so little to show
He shrugged his shoulders and said
It's just what i know
And out in the scrub, he's sinking a bore
He's coverd in grease and
His knuckles are raw but he won't pack it in
'til hte brown water flows
Ask him why and he'll tell you
It's just what he knows
He's just an ordinary bloke
And he's doing us proud
What he's putting in keeps
The wheels going round
Every day he'll be out there
Battling or broke
But he shoulders the country
This ordinary bloke
A neghbour calls up
Says he'll need every man
There's a scrub fire burning and
It's got out of hand
He'll help out his mate
It's just how it goes
And he won't count the cost
It's just what he knows
When war broke out in Europe
Came the call to enlist
And that brave Aussie boy with
That big heart of his
Had something called honor etched
In his bones and he laid down his life
Doing just what he knows
