Well, that's alright

Sometimes I wonder. How will I die?
Maybe in a plane, falling out of the sky
Red light flashing, emergency.
Put my head between my knees
Take my final breath smelling my feet.
They say when you die. Time goes slow.
I’d be happy to, look out that window
Present in the moment that I am in
Maybe take a minute to confess my sins
If that is how I die well, that’s alright.
That’s alright. That’s alright.
If that is how I die well, that’s alright.
Tapping the steering wheel. On my way to a show
Lights on the hill - ah ah ha ah ha…… Playing on the radio
Kangaroo in front of me.
I swing to the left hit a big gum tree
And now I am as rooted as can be.
They say when you die, time goes slow
Now it’s just Skippy and me Slim Dusty on the radio.
In the stillness there is no pain.
Back to dust from where I came
If that is how I die well, that’s alright.
That’s alright. That’s alright.
If that is how I die well, that’s alright.
Now it’s inevitable, that we all die
Then we will all know, if there’s an after life.
And if there is I’ll see ya there. Come on in, pull up a chair
We’ll have a beer and chat about our lives.
A drink for the ones we left behind
A drink for the day we reunite
And if I die tonight…. Well that’s alright.
That’s alright. That’s alright.
And if I die tonight well, that’s alright.
And if I die tonight well, that’s alright.

Get back, boss man

I was at a bar late the other night
Drunk as drunk could be
I was sick of work. My boss was a jerk
Drink away my misery.
3am. they’d kick me out
8am. back to work.
Looking like death . Hellfire on my breath
Face to face again with that jerk.
Get back boss man . Get back from me
Get the hell off my back
Sick of his shit. I was itchin to quit
I hit the road and I ain’t goin back
I was working 6 days a week
And singing 5 nights in a bar
Night after night, I’d be too drunk to drive
Sleeping in the back of my car
I worked all day and I worked all night
Next day I’d do it all again
Somewhere in between, I had kids I’d never see
I barely remembered their names.
Get back boss man . Get back from me
Get the hell off my back
Sick of his shit. I was itchin to quit
I hit the road and I ain’t goin back
Get back boss man . Get back from me
Get the hell off my back
Sick of his shit. I was itchin to quit
I hit the road and I ain’t goin back

My greatest fear

I talked with you just today
In that old familiar way
We're at that point once again
Is this the beginning, or the end?
My words fade to blue
Sometimes, I seem to disappear
Gone without a trace
To feel I have no purpose
Is my greatest fear
My greatest fear
Sometimes, my ship I cannot steer
And I have lost my way
To feel I have no purpose
Is my greatest fear
My greatest fear
Vesselled heart, slowly sinking
Sunset eyes begin to fill
Memories fade like a drunkard drinking
Release it all and be still
My words fade to blue
Sometimes, I seem to disappear
Gone without a trace
To feel I have no purpose
Is my greatest fear
My greatest fear
Sometimes, my ship I cannot steer
And I have lost my way
To feel I have no purpose
Is my greatest fear
My greatest fear

Sitting on country.
In the warm winter sun.
I can feel the vibration.
I can hear the hum.
And I know we are one
Reflections on the water.
Torn, silver gums.
I can feel their vibration.
I can hear them hum
And I know we are one
Deep soul connections.
With friends and loved ones.
I can feel their vibration.
I can hear them hum
And I know we are one
I breathe in this country.
Deep into my lungs.
I am the vibration.
I am the hum.
I know we are one.
And we are the hum.
I know we are one
