Song/Lyric Poems (408)

Verse I

My life was a shambles, but I didn't know.
Thought love was a myth but, it just goes to show.
I thought I'd found love but, it all crumbled down.
I gave up on looking, and then I was found.


Chorus

My sweet little baby,
I love you so much.
I long for the day when,
I feel your sweet touch.
My sweet little baby,
I love you so much.


Verse II

You are my life now, I can't think beyond..
Without you my darling, I could not go on.
I never believed that, I could be this way.
I just know I love you, more every day.


Verse III

It's simply amazing, how close we've become.
Though we are afar dear, yet still we are one.
Though waiting is torture, it's well worth the pain.
We'll soon be together, and so will remain.

Verse I

All we have for now,
Is not enough somehow.
We will get the chance,
And fin'ly have that dance.


Chorus

Lonliness hurts so bad.
My enpty arms are sad.
You have these feelings too.
My heart goes out to you.
Baby love you so much.
Just longing for your touch.
My enpty arms are sad.
Lonliness hurts so bad.


Verse II

Cottage by the sea,
Just for you an' me.
Be our honeymoon,
Holding on for June.


Verse III

Baby when we meet,
I'll kiss you my sweet.
Then you'll know it's true
Fallen into you.

Verse I

Gotta find me a woman,
Who knows how to treat a man.
Not just some barroom hook-up,
Or a desp'rate one night stand.


Chorus

Are you out there somewhere?
The one I'm lookin' for.
The one that will complete me,
The one I can adore.
Do you know the secret?
T'unlock this heart of mine.
So tired of being lonely.
And achin' all the time.


Verse II

Been lookin' for that someone,
With that style and grace and charm,
Not another pretty face,
Or some candy for my arm.


Verse III

I need someone who knows just how,
T' keep her man satisfied.
Someone to meet me atth' door,
With lovin' arms open wide.


Verse IV

A woman to wake up with,
For the day's first sleepy kiss.
A girl who's soft and tender,
Who can turn my life to bliss

Verse I

The world has turned to green again,
So I guess winter's done.
The daffodils and dogwood trees,
Say spring has fin'ly sprung.
Gotta go almost to Arkansas,
Supplies I must obtain.
I have no wheels to make the trip,
So'm hitchin' down to Jane.


Chorus

Hitchin' down to Jane, yeah,
Hitchin' down to Jane.
I've things to buy,
And have no ride,
So'm hitchin' down to Jane.


Verse II

The nearest store with what I need,
Is eighteen miles away.
I have no friend to take me there,
I'm very sad to say.
The car I had caught fire you see,
There's only me to blame.
Too far to walk and I can't fly,
So'm hithchin' down to Jane.


Verse III

Guess I could postpone my trip,
And go another day.
But the weather's fine an'I have the time,
So'm on my lonely way.
The road is long and treacherous,
It always seems the same.
But I'm outta wine and cigarettes,
So'm hitchin down to Jane

My jeans are ripped, my boots are dry and muddy
You can tell that I drink beer and not champagne
I'm the kind of girl who likes to keep things simple
I've never longed for fortune of fame

My best friend is my dog, not a diamond
Diamonds don't snuggle up to you when you cry
And I don't like the thought, of being bought
A girl in love is something you can't buy

Yeah, I'm happy just the way things are, boy
There's not much more that I need
A dry land crop doesn't need alot of rain
A shower now and then will get it through
And in a way I am like that barren bit of land
All I need is a rain drop from you

So cancel those dinner reservations
Instead let's take the dogs down to the creek
We'll pack a picnic lunch, we'll lie there in the sun
What a perfect way to end a working week

Yeah, I'm happy just the way things are, boy
There's not much more that I need
A dry land crop doesn't need alot of rain
A shower now and then will get it through
And in a way I am like that barren bit of land
All I need is a rain drop from you

A dry land crop doesn't need alot of rain
A shower now and then will get it through
And in a way I am like that barren bit of land
All I need is a rain drop from you

All I need is a rain drop from you
All I need is a rain drop from you

Verse I

We both made mistakes,
In love and in life.
You took the wrong husband,
I chose the wrong wife.
Our mis'ry dragged on,
Went on for so long.
Happiness always out of reach.
Our rights were all wrong.


Chorus

My sweet honey Bee,
So precious to me.
I looked for so long to find you,
Then finally you found me.
Now we are one,
The looking is done.
You'll walk hand in hand through life with me,
My sweet honey Bee.


Verse II

The road was so long,
To find our sweet love.
It seemed it would never end at all,
And then from above,
The sky opened up,
The sun filled our cup.
Now we'll have each other dear,
Things fin'ly look up.


Verse III

And now that we know,
We'll always have us.
Nothing will ever come between,
And life is a rush.
A reason to live,
A passion to give.
We will be legend you and I,
Long after we live.

He's movin' all his stock, to that bare paddock
The fire's comin' through and it's comin' fast
With 1600 sheep and 200 cattle
When it comes to givin up he'd be the last

And the old brigade came by with the bad news
The big burn's on it's way and we need your help
So he kissed his wife goodbye and said I love you
And he left his stock to fend for themselves
It's just how it goes

And he's stil circlin'
'Round and 'round upon this dusty land
And he'll keep the mob together while he's workin'
Always keen to lend a helpin' hand
And he's still circlin

A windshift turned the fire past his homestead
And he was faced with putin' down his injured stock
Across the smokey flat all lame and breathless
His collie cirled round the frightened mob
He's doin' his job

And he's stil circlin'
'Round and 'round upon this dusty land
And he'll keep the mob together while he's workin'
Always keen to lend a helpin' hand
And he's still circlin

Through drought and flood and fire
Through hardship and good time
I'll raise my glass to every man and dog
If you look you'll always find


They're stil circlin'
'Round and 'round upon this dusty land
And they'll keep the mob together while they're workin'
Always keen to lend a helpin' hand
And they're still circlin

Still circlin'

Just a quiet young bloke from out near Hay
With a well respected family name
He didn't drink or smoke never swore or fought
Well at least that's what his parents thought

But that all changed on the day he headed off to school
He became a household name for breaking all the rules
He'll be straight arm drinking blind man thinking
How can I go wrong?
Well he's the best he'll show the rest
He's right where he belongs
Bringing to the table how his old man used to play
It's a job it's a duty to
Let the grog monster off the chain

He's a bit of a legend with all his mates
When he ploughs the tractor right through the gates
And he'll drag the dirtbike through the door
Do some doughnuts on the kitchen floor

He'll be spinning from the clothesline
And fighting mates for fun
The centre of attention when he's wearing all his rum

Now he'll go down in history
As an alcoholic inductee
And we won't forget the stunts his pulled
Or the machinery that he's totalled

But he'll use his skills train them up initiate his peers
The grog monster tradition will then live on for years

Party startin' fire lightin' dancing in the rain
Raise that arm above his head and look out
He's off the chain
Tractor driving, bare-fist fighting, going all the way
Damage and destruction is his game
He's off the chain
He's off the chain

Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White liar

You better be careful what you do
I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes
If they ever found you out
You better be careful what you say
It never really added up any way
I got friends in this town

Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White liar

You said you went out to a bar
And walked some lady to her car
But your face has more to tell
Cuz my cousin saw you on the street
With a red head named Bernice
Turns out you don't lie too well

Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White liar

Here's a bombshell just for you
Turns out I've been lying too

Yeah I'm a white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of my tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White Liar
