Plenty (The Rumjacks)

Well I'm livin' with the mistakes I've made, - ‘plenty more where I'm from', I’m robbin' peter so Paul gets paid, - 'plenty more where I'm from.' I’ve strayed so far from the open road, I've been places my shadow refused to go. I went to school but they called me slow, - ‘plenty more where I'm from', They couldn't teach me what I needed to know, - ‘plenty more where I'm from', My heart still breaks & my throat it swells, Like a dirty lump o' coal at the New Year bell's. A song of hope to lift my spirits if you please, Or a tale of old rebellion if you dare, I hope I live to see the day I laugh at days like these, And walk the walk of one without a care. I'll shift my share but I won't shift the blame, - ‘plenty more where I'm from', I respect my neighbour and expect the same, - ‘plenty more where I'm from', I’ve strayed so far from the open road, I've been places my shadow refused to go. I don't trust what I can't see, - ‘plenty more where I'm from', But I believe in something higher than me, - ‘plenty more where I'm from', My heart still breaks & my throat it swells, Like a dirty lump o' coal at the New Year bell's.
