Lyrics
South - Troy Cassar-Daley/Ian Moss
I’ve been working on an old bridge
We lost in the last big flood
Doing my time on a drill rig
Way down in that north coast mud
On the southern side a cable snapped and we watch a man fall in
I tell ya that’s one bell you can’t unring
Then I got some work at a saw mill
Slaving in the sun all day
No amount of pay cheque money’s
Gonna chase these blues away
I got two kids & a wife at home
Living hand to mouth
Breaking my back
Watching it all go south
Watching it all go south
Stare at an open door
I think about walking away
so many times before
I was raised to stay
My pride says stick it out
I sip on my last beer, year after year
Watching it all go south
Watching it all go south
So I roll with it deal with it
Fight and learn to live with a world that keeps fucking with my mind
Saddled up, and rode with it
Even had a drink with it
These days you’ll find me sitting by
Watching it all go south
Stare at an open door
I think about walking away
so many times before
I was raised to stay
My pride says stick it out
I sip on my last beer, year after year
Watching it all go south
year after year
Watching it all go south
Watching it all go south
Watching it all go south
Watching it all go south
