Rebecca's New Friend

Lyrics:

Rebecca’s New Friend
Seems everybody likes Rebecca’s new friend,
She’s doing a clumsy slowdance to the strains of an old Orbison song.
Bar’s all empty now, just us faithful watch on,
Push back the clock with my last drink, put off going home alone.

With a working week like this,
You try to steal back some of your life.
All the nights they end like this,
Always far too close to dawn.

I like to drink every night,
Sometimes the boys they’ll fight,
But we work so hard,
I got to love sometime.
We like to drink every night,
Sometimes the boys they’ll fight,
But we work so hard,
Got to live sometime.

I wasn’t born here; lived in Perth for a while
But I know that I belong here even though it’s getting so hard.
The farming’s harder, lot of families have gone,
Driving trucks I’ll be ok, still plenty of work on.

With a working week like this,
You try to steal back some of your life.
All the nights they end like this,
Always far too close to dawn.

I like to drink every night,
Sometimes the boys they’ll fight,
But we work so hard,
I got to love sometime.
We like to drink every night,
Sometimes the boys they’ll fight,
But we work so hard,
Got to live sometime.

You know I like the small town life,
All my friends’ll do me right.
Most Sundays I spend with mum,
When the Sunday league’s not on.
