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
