kev carmody - back block's shire lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
time was when on them old freight trains
us people rode to town on a long steel rail
in the tail+end guarde’s van with the weekly mail

[chorus]
the country soul was in them back block shires
things didn’t change much as time it rolls by

[verse 2]
ted broke horses with a bull+bronc spur
he kept those bleeders buried deep in fur
he never had a cent but he called no+one sir

[chorus]
the country soul was in them back block shires
things didn’t change much as time it rolls by

[verse 3]
when a person been thinkin’ of the friends he’s had
some bеin’ good, others been bad
some will shake you out likе a dirty rag

[chorus]
the country soul was in them back block shires
things didn’t change much as time it rolls by
[verse 4]
got me swag and a lift to the next new job
splittin’ hard+wood sleepers from them iron bark logs
pays real good but you work like a drover’s dog

[chorus]
the country soul was in them back block shires
things didn’t change much as time it rolls by

[verse 5]
two months time goin’ back to our block
with the money i’ve earned build our family a hut
have our own place
get out of this rut

[chorus]
the country soul was in them back block shires
things didn’t change much as time it rolls by

[verse 6]
raise chooks and pigs, calves and lambs
plant beans an’ spuds and cure our own hams
brine our corned meat
least that’s our plan
[chorus]
the country soul was in them back block shires
things didn’t change much as time it rolls by

[verse 7]
well i’ve been up and i’ve been down
feel so much better when i leave the town
love those open sp+ces and the wooded ground

[chorus]
the country soul was in them back block shires
things didn’t change much as time it rolls by

[verse 8]
time was when like them pressed wool bales
us people rode to town on a long steel rail
in the tail+end gaurds van with the weekly mail

[chorus]
the country soul was in them back block shires
things didn’t change much as time it rolls by
