I never wanted to be on my own
I could be wrong
But I slipped away from home
And now I'm gone
Well, way down south
They're haveing minor ups and downs
But they are moving on ahead
In leaps and bounds
Why, boy, they're playing our song
Outside where no-one can hear
Why, boy, they're playing our song
At the start of my new career
Well it's a different walk of life
That I've come to know
Because at every port of call comes a time to go
Well they say down south
The sun won't set on my home town
It's just driving in this heat
That gets me down
Why, boy, they're playing our song
Outside where no-one can hear
Why, boy, they're playing our song
At the start of my new career
I could never hurt anyone
Least of all you
Why, boy, they're playing our song
Outside where no-one can hear
Why, boy, they're playing our song
At the start of my new career
