dug (ie) - big sundown lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well when i was a child, my mother told me, “son
don’t succumb to finer fare, wait for your day to come”
dad drank like a fish, watchin’ geronimo
on the couch with his belly out in a cloud of richmond smoke
we snuck around the back by the light of the tv glow

[chorus]
tell me where’re we goin, oh when can we leave
take your brother’s car i’ll drive for free
the pylon eyes are comin’ round on the day of the big
day of the big sundown

[verse 2]
now i worked all summer savin’ up to fly the nest
i was cutting grass in the cul de sac with a two+stroke cub cadet
i was dreaming of the bushmen, and the northern desert sky
martin cash, and old bold jack, and the great australian bight
well i pushed that mower ’round every godd+mn house in town

[chorus]
tell me where’re we goin, oh what’s the plan
we could cut cloth in the promised land
i can see us now, man, ridin’ out on the way to the big
way to the big sundown
[bridge]
cause a road will open up
at least that’s what i hope, what i hope
what i hope it does

[verse 3]
we got to darwin harbour, it was the fall of ’83
the foreman had us pourin’ asphalt by a sewage treatment facility
said you couldn’t find the end of a shovel, cause you can’t teach stupid how
“ah boy, but fellas, it’s now or never and those holes won’t fill themselves”
i said “thank you very much, but i think we’d best be off”

[chorus]
tell me where are we goin, oh when can we stop
do you reckon jimmy cook, man, ever felt lost?
i wonder if he ever turned around on the way to the big
way to the big sundown

[outro]
cause the road will open up
at least that’s what i hope, what i hope
what i hope it does
