The Rumjacks - Plenty lyrics

Well I'm livin' with the mistakes I've made
- ‘plenty more where I'm from'
I'm robbin' peter so Paul gets paid
- 'plenty more where I'm from'

I've strayed so far from the open road
I've been places my shadow refused to go

I went to school but they called me slow
- ‘plenty more where I'm from'
They couldn't teach me what I needed to know
- ‘plenty more where I'm from'
My heart still breaks & my throat it swells
Like a dirty lump o' coal
At the New Year bell's

A song of hope to lift
My spirit's if you please
Or a tale of old rebellion if you dare
I hope I live to see the day
I laugh at days like these
And walk the walk of one without a care

I'll shift my share but I
Won't shift the blame
- ‘plenty more where I'm from'
I respect my neighbour and expect the same
- ‘plenty more where I'm from'

I've strayed so far from the open road
I've been places my shadow refused to go

I don't trust what I can't see
- ‘plenty more where I'm from'
But, I believe in something higher than me
- ‘plenty more where I'm from'

My heart still breaks & my throat it swells
Like a dirty lump o' coal
At the New Year bell's
