Living in a Town
The sun on the back of a weatherboard shack
The heat rising up from the woolworths track oh yeah
Livin in a dyin town
Friday night at the new steak house
On a big pay day it's boarded up now
Everything is closing down
Well the money you found in the ground
Was never gonna last forever
I remember it was hard to leave and run to the city
Dad was still strong and mum was so pretty
Taking our time as we rode for home
I could grow old in a thunderstorm
But that was years ago
Before the silent sound
Of livin in a dying town
You can see yourself in the moon at night
But you'll probably have to run from a drunken fight, oh yeah
All those drunken fights
I can hear the words still ringing in my head
Dad telling ma there's nothing left for rent
Staying at the aunts again
Well the money you found in the ground
Was never gonna last forever
I remember it was hard to leave and run to the city
Dad was still strong and mum was so pretty
Taking our time as we rode for home
I could grow old in a thunderstorm
It was hard to leave and run to the city
Dad was still strong and mum was so pretty
Taking our time as we rode for home
I could grow old in a thunderstorm
But that was years ago
Before the silent sound
Is never gonna last forever
All that money in the ground
All that money in the ground
It was hard to leave and run to the city
Dad was still strong and mum was so pretty
Taking our time as we rode for home
I could grow old in a thunderstorm
It was hard to leave and run to the city
Dad was still strong and mum was so pretty
Taking our time as we rode for home
I could grow old in a thunderstorm
But that was years ago
15 years ago
That was years ago
Before the silent sound
Of livin in a dying town
The heat rising up from the woolworths track oh yeah
Livin in a dyin town
Friday night at the new steak house
On a big pay day it's boarded up now
Everything is closing down
Well the money you found in the ground
Was never gonna last forever
I remember it was hard to leave and run to the city
Dad was still strong and mum was so pretty
Taking our time as we rode for home
I could grow old in a thunderstorm
But that was years ago
Before the silent sound
Of livin in a dying town
You can see yourself in the moon at night
But you'll probably have to run from a drunken fight, oh yeah
All those drunken fights
I can hear the words still ringing in my head
Dad telling ma there's nothing left for rent
Staying at the aunts again
Well the money you found in the ground
Was never gonna last forever
I remember it was hard to leave and run to the city
Dad was still strong and mum was so pretty
Taking our time as we rode for home
I could grow old in a thunderstorm
It was hard to leave and run to the city
Dad was still strong and mum was so pretty
Taking our time as we rode for home
I could grow old in a thunderstorm
But that was years ago
Before the silent sound
Is never gonna last forever
All that money in the ground
All that money in the ground
It was hard to leave and run to the city
Dad was still strong and mum was so pretty
Taking our time as we rode for home
I could grow old in a thunderstorm
It was hard to leave and run to the city
Dad was still strong and mum was so pretty
Taking our time as we rode for home
I could grow old in a thunderstorm
But that was years ago
15 years ago
That was years ago
Before the silent sound
Of livin in a dying town
