Lyrics Plenty - The Rumjacks

Plenty

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
