kasey chambers - backbone (the desert child) lyrics

well they call me the desert child
i was born out in the wild
ain’t never been lost to the southern cross with
a heart that runs a mile
while the train it waits arrival
i’d learn to read the bible
i remembered every word just to sing like a bird
and to whistle on down the line
oh my backbone take me back home
wherever you are tell ’em my star will leave the
light on
oh my backbone harder than stone
imma go east imma go west imma come home
well the only road to find her
from the tread underneath the tyre
if the fox didn’t howl it’d save us now from the bid
from highest buyer
and our hair it grew like fire
like samson and delilah
but the rust wouldn’t hurt from the dust and dirt
that we used to barb the wire
oh my backbone take me back home
wherever you are tell ’em my star will leave the
light on
oh my backbone harder than stone
imma go east imma go west imma come home
at night the words were spoken
will the circle be unbroken
and the voice went higher from the family choir
and moon it played in time
and the boxcar disappeared with a wave from the
engineer
and i always came back for the coin on the track cos it
made me a millionaire
oh my backbone take me back home
wherever you are tell ’em my star will leave the
light on
oh my backbone harder than stone
imma go east imma go west imma come home
well they call me the desert child
i was born out in the wild
ain’t never been lost to the southern cross with a heart
that runs a mile
