slim dusty - never was at all lyrics
they say i’m getting older and my hair is turnin’ grey,
they say i should be slowing down, give it all away.
living like a gypsy doesn’t bother me at all,
and i’d sooner be a ‘has been’ than a ‘never was at
all’.
now, i could’ve been a shearer and i could’ve been a
vet,
could’ve been a lot of things, of this much you can
bet.
a man can sit there hangin’ like a picture on the wall,
but i’d sooner be a ‘has been’ than a ‘never was at
all’.
oh, i’d sooner be ‘has been’ than a ‘never was at all’,
all my life i had a go, really had a ball.
if you don’t climb the ladder, mate, then you can never
fall,
and i’d sooner be a ‘has been’ than a ‘never was at
all’.
[instrumental]
when i look at that old suitcase and i think of how it
was,
the bad times and the good times, hey, and we did it
just because.
i know i had to try it and today i’m standing tall,
’cause i’d sooner be a ‘has been’ than a ‘never was at
all’.
now, you won’t reach the finish line if you don’t ever
start
you’ll never live and you’ll never love if you don’t
have a heart.
so don’t just sit there whinging mate, it’s no d-mn
good at all
and i’d sooner be a ‘has been’ than a ‘never was at
all’.
oh, i’d sooner be ‘has been’ than a ‘never was at all’,
give it everything i’d got, really had a ball.
if you don’t climb the ladder, mate, then you can never
fall,
and i’d sooner be a ‘has been’ than a ‘never was at
all’.
and i’d sooner be a ‘has been’ than a ‘never was at
all’.
oh laydee oh, laydee oh, laydee
