The Henry Lawson Jive
We used to think that we were kings
But in the end we're dust in the wind
Life is flying past, it gets out of hand
What I'd give for one more fucking week in that van
You know that I would rather spend my time tonight
'Round the fire just talking shit
About when, nobody could stop us
A fist full of nothing but dumb luck
It feels like, I'm dumb, deaf and stupid
Maybe I am just fucking useless
I found a way to make things right
I keep my friends right here by my side
Just to pretend that I'm doing fine
I keep my friends right here by my side
Never the faint of heart
And you were always a betting man
2 a.m. the streets we're dancing
Milk crate head and hands
Walking home and someone
Always had to break shit
(Break shit)
Back then, nobody could stop us
A fist full of nothing but dumb luck
It feels like, I'm dumb, deaf and stupid
Maybe I am just fucking useless
We used to think that we were kings
I found a way to make things right
I keep my friends right here by my side
Just to pretend that I'm doing fine
I keep my friends right here by my side
Killing time along for the ride
Then one day we reached the end of the line
I'm just glad that we survived
With my friends right here by my side
Back then, nobody could stop us
(I think I've fucked up this time, it's just dumb luck)
It feels like, I'm dumb, deaf and stupid (I'm not falling in love)
Maybe I am just fucking useless
I found a way to make things right
I keep my friends right here by my side
Just to pretend that I'm doing fine
I keep my friends right here by my side
I found a way (I found a way)
To make things right (to make things right)
I keep my friends right here by my side
Just to pretend (just to pretend)
That I'm doing fine (that I'm doing fine)
I keep my friends right here by my side
We used to think that we were...
But in the end we're dust in the wind
Life is flying past, it gets out of hand
What I'd give for one more fucking week in that van
You know that I would rather spend my time tonight
'Round the fire just talking shit
About when, nobody could stop us
A fist full of nothing but dumb luck
It feels like, I'm dumb, deaf and stupid
Maybe I am just fucking useless
I found a way to make things right
I keep my friends right here by my side
Just to pretend that I'm doing fine
I keep my friends right here by my side
Never the faint of heart
And you were always a betting man
2 a.m. the streets we're dancing
Milk crate head and hands
Walking home and someone
Always had to break shit

Back then, nobody could stop us
A fist full of nothing but dumb luck
It feels like, I'm dumb, deaf and stupid
Maybe I am just fucking useless
We used to think that we were kings
I found a way to make things right
I keep my friends right here by my side
Just to pretend that I'm doing fine
I keep my friends right here by my side

To make things right (to make things right)
I keep my friends right here by my side
Just to pretend (just to pretend)
That I'm doing fine (that I'm doing fine)
I keep my friends right here by my side
We used to think that we were...
