Baby on the Way

Met in an alleyway in Kalgoorlie in the rain
Drinking cheap whiskey I was in the gutter again
You left with your girlfriends and my old mate left me there
There is something in that cold night desert air

I say
Born in the world that's free when you have a look around why we all the same
Born in the world that's free when you have a look around why we all the same

You know that the devil can't hack this game
'Cause he tried last year and he was found
Wanting and running from the game
Wanting and running from the game

You say
No wedding band, no wedding dress no honeymoon
No wedding cake, no songs, no wedding bands

There's a baby on the way
Just a baby on the way

A little while later we've got a big family and a little home
You'll never have to feel alone
Children with hearts on fire and soul
Children with hearts on fire and soul

But I was
Caught on a windowpane I had a seven-year it's a little tiny brain
Caught on a windowpane I had a seven-year it's a little tiny brain
You know that the devil can't hack this game
He tried last year and he was found
Wanting and running from the game
Wanting and running from the game

You say
No wedding band, no wedding dress no honeymoon
No wedding cake, no songs no wedding bands
There's a baby on the way
Just a baby on the way

Thirty years later the kids have grown, they have gone
Leaving a gaping hole in my heart and my soul
Thirty years later I'm on my own
Thirty years later I'm on my own

You say
No wedding band, no wedding dress no honeymoon
No wedding cake, no songs no wedding bands
There's a baby on the way
Just a baby on the way
Just a baby on the way
Just a baby on the way
