Heartache, I’ve something to tell you You can’t live here anymore I need my life back, I’m headin’ down the right track So heartache, I’ll show you the door She moved out and you moved right in You don’t know just how hard it’s been I try to tell myself that I don’t care But when I turn around, you’re always there, so Heartache, I’ve something to tell you You can’t live here anymore I need my life back, I’m headin’ down the right track So heartache, I’ll show you the door I’ve had enough time to think it through And I realize I just can’t live with you Your Gypsy life will help you find a way You’ll always find another place to stay... She moved out and you moved right in You don’t know just how hard it’s been But I’ve had enough time to think it through And I realize I just can’t live with you Heartache, I’ve something to tell you You can’t live here anymore I need my life back, I’m headin’ down the right track So heartache, I’ll show you the door Heartache, I’ve got something to tell you Heartache, you can’t live here anymore Heartache, I’ve got something to tell you

Every reason 04:18

Baby it’s plain to see You’ve lost a little faith in me It hurts me to know you’re feelin’ that way I just wanna reassure The love that I’m feelin’ is pure My whole life’s standin’ in front of me Everything I say is true I would never lie to you The love that I’m feelin’ ain’t goin’ away Look into my eyes and see Everything you mean to me There’s absolutely every damn reason to stay You’re thinkin’ I’m goin’ astray You’re thinkin’ I’m slippin’ away But you’re the only one, my love affair About a hundred years from now I’ll still be hangin’ around The place I’m goin’ is nowhere Everything I say is true I would never lie to you The love that I’m feelin’ ain’t goin’ away Look into my eyes and see Everything you mean to me There’s absolutely every damn reason to stay

Hold on 03:16

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the sun There’s darkness all around this place I’ve watched the light in your eyes grow dim And the cold creep across your face I know you think it’s over And you’re saying maybe we should end Hold on, me and you Just because we’re fighting doesn’t mean we’re through Hold on ‘til the end Let’s get back the love we once had Take a good long look around Two hearts at the lost and found Can you remember the times we had When we found love at the start We’d walk together along the beach And hold hands in the park I wanna see that look again The fire in your eyes Hold on, me and you Just because we’re fighting doesn’t mean we’re through Hold on ‘til the end Let’s get back the love we once had Take a good long look around Two hearts at the lost and found, Hold on It’s a two part harmony It’s not about you and it’s not about me Hold on, me and you Just because we’re fighting doesn’t mean we’re through Hold on ‘til the end Let’s get back the love we once had Take a good long look around Two hearts at the lost and found, Hold on

I left you 03:24
lyrics

I've been down and out, I've been blue You see I've broken my own heart in two Now look at me, I don't know what to do Since I... left you I thought that I could find a better way Than live tomorrow like my yesterdays Now all my dreams have turned as cold as clay Since I... left you Since I left you, there's no songs anymore There's no sunshine, only rain at my door Now I'm aching for the life I had then I wish that I could be with you again I watched the tears fall down at first daybreak As I left home for this new life I'd make That's the day I made my worst mistake When I... left you Since I left you, there's no songs anymore There's no sunshine, only rain at my door Now I'm aching for the life I had then I wish that I could be with you again A foolish heart, a foolish mind I can see now girl that I was blind You gave me more than I will ever find Still I... left you

Up 03:47

There’s a world over the horizon I’ve been dreaming of And it’s calling my name out loud this time, I’m gonna heed its call Well, I know there’s no freeway to get me where I’m bound I’ve been wandering lost getting nowhere, tryin’ to make some ground There’s fire left in my heart and I’m gonna make a start Hold back the water, wrestle the wind Don’t let the fire get a punch in Cut through the jungle, crash through the walls I’ll get back up each time I fall There’s a girl on top of a mountain who’s always on my mind And there’s a whole lot of reasons we can’t be but I’ll still make the climb I know I’ll meet resistence but she’s worth all I’ll pay Two steps forward and one step back, I’ll reach her someday There’s fire left in my heart and I’m gonna make a start Hold back the water, wrestle the wind Don’t let the fire get a punch in Cut through the jungle, crash through the walls I’ll get back up each time I fall It’s a strong heart from where the journey starts to where it ends All I need is endless strength to get back up again and again and again Hold back the water, wrestle the wind Don’t let the fire get a punch in Cut through the jungle, crash through the walls I’ll get back up each time I fall Hold back the water, wrestle the wind Don’t let the fire get a punch in Cut through the jungle, crash through the walls I’ll get back up each time I fall

The Legacy 03:55
lyrics

It was just a dream in my Dads heart A young man not more than 23 Who’d have known that old guitar Would someday become a legacy He sang his way to a young girls heart They made plans to start a family And with the son she placed in his arms Came the chance to share the legacy We didn’t have much but the good Lord’s touch Times were hard back then But the dream stood strong as the years rolled on And the journey never ends What a gift he carved from that old guitar When dad handed on the legacy I was ten years old when my life changed Dad said come sit down with me Didn’t know back then how much he gave When he handed on the legacy We didn’t have much but the good Lord’s touch Times were hard back then But the dream stood strong as the years rolled on And the journey never ends What a gift he carved from that old guitar When dad handed on the legacy We didn’t have much but the good Lord’s touch Times were hard back then But the dream stood strong as the years rolled on And the journey never ends That old guitar sure seen some change Three generations full of memories It still brings a smile to a young boys face As I hand on the Legacy But there’s so much more…

Blue 04:24
lyrics

I've been thinkin' about my life, what I've done and where I've been And lookin' back through photographs reminds me what I've seen What I see are pretty colours through all the times I've been with you But now it's all been thrown away I see the colours changing hue I'm watchin' all those pretty colours turn to blue No I can't believe I spent my whole life thinkin' of you Well it's all in vain since you told me we're through I'm watchin' all those pretty colours turn to blue Though I've seen a lot of good things and my life's turned out alright There's somethin' bout this lonliness I'm feelin' here tonight Although the good times are coloured, they're all different shades of blue And I'm lyin' here in sorrow, God, I need you I'm watchin' all those pretty colours turn to blue And I can't believe I spent my whole life thinkin' of you Well it's all in vain since you told me we're through I'm watchin' all those pretty colours turn to blue

Already gone 03:13

I can see him out the corner of my eye Trying to tell me something, my ears are closed up tight His face is turning red and I think he just said “Better pull your weight son or you’re fired”, but I’m… Already gone Got my old Akubra hat and RMs on Blue dog by my side, swag rolled up tight and I’m Already gone She’s standing in the kitchen and she’s on Something ‘bout a dream she had that never came along Her eyes are fiery red and I think she just said “Get out my house, you don’t belong”, oh but I’m… Already gone Got my old Akubra hat and RMs on Blue dog by my side, swag rolled up tight and I’m Already gone There’s something ‘bout this country, open wide and free A cowboy like me needs to roam Well I try to civilize but every time I try The bush land keeps calling me back home, and I’m… Already gone Got my old Akubra hat and RMs on The stars are out tonight, the campfire is bright and I’m Already gone Already gone Got my old Akubra hat and RMs on The stars are out tonight, the campfire is bright and I’m Already gone

She may not be the princess that I saw in my dreams She may not be the kind of girl my mother meant for me She may not be the cover girl from a magazine But she’s the one…. oh I know inside my heart she’s the one She doesn’t always love me like I wanna be loved She doesn’t always do the things I’m dreaming of She doesn’t seem realize what it takes to be a man But she’s the kind of woman, makes the kind of man I am She’s the one who understands that love comes and goes But she’s the kind of woman with a love that grows and grows She’s extraordinary unlike any girl I’ve known She’s the one… and she’s deep inside in my heart, She’s the one She may not always see both sides when we have fight She won’t ever back down if she thinks she’s right But she won’t ever give up on the love she holds so strong Oh I know that she’s no quitter and our love keeps goin’ on She’s the one who understands that love comes and goes But she’s the kind of woman with a love that grows and grows She’s extraordinary unlike any girl I’ve known She’s the one… and she’s deep inside my heart, She’s the one Oh I see it when I look into her eyes It’s a feeling that I just can’t describe She’s the one who understands that love comes and goes But she’s the kind of woman with a love that grows and grows She’s extraordinary unlike any girl I’ve known She’s the one who understands that love comes and goes But she’s the kind of woman with a love that grows and grows She’s extraordinary unlike any girl I’ve known She’s the one… and she’s branded in my heart, She’s the one

Just thought you'd like to know 03:56

I guess it's been a year now since you left us Funny how the time just passes by It seems like only yesterday I held you close And vowed that we would never let love die All of that's behind me, now I'm mended I hardly ever hear our daughter cry I sat and watched her play outside this morning Her little smiles reminded me of you The feeling almost caught me for a moment But then I just found something else to do I thought it time to write another letter I wonder why we never hear from you Just thought you'd like to know That we're just fine without you There's nothing we won't make it through, just takes a little time There's really nothing wrong, I'm just biding time We're on the uphill climb, just thought you'd like to know Our little girl just reached her seventh birthday I can't get over just how much she's grown We gave her a party with her school friends I thought that, just perhaps, you might have phoned But in your brand new life of glory I guess we very seldom cross your mind And it would be sad to hear from you only once a year, and so... Just thought you'd like to know That we're just fine without you There's nothing we won't make it through, just takes a little time There's really nothing wrong, I'm just biding time We're on the uphill climb, just thought you'd like to know We're only hurting sometimes, just thought you'd like to know

In another life 03:57

In another life I'd walk with you and hold your hand in mine In another life I'd read your eyes and follow every sign But my love lies with another and her love for me is strong She's the one I married and I won't do her wrong In another life you’d touch me, I’d touch you in return In another life you’d reach for me and ease me from my shirt But I must be strong and faithful to the one inside my heart I told her forever and we can never part Maybe in another life In another life But there's no use in thinking about the way that it could be In another life In another life I'd kiss you and hold you Oh so tight In another life I'd lie with you and make love through the night Oh, but while I'm still here on this earth, the man that I was born I hope you understand, my love just won't be torn In another life In another life This moment we’ll surrender until another day In another life Though you're such a strong temptation, I must turn and walk away I couldn't bear the consequence if I was to stay All the cards are on the table, What more can I say In another life In another life So we'll just let it be until we meet again In another life

Dreamland 03:47
lyrics

The Great Red Rock is beating, the heart of this great land Spirit flows through every vein to reach the coastal sand From tropics to the desert there’s a feast of paradise Dreams are made a-many when together we unite This is a Dreamland so wide and free Such beauty from the red rock to the sea A land of hope where hearts run free This is Australia From the rugged Kimberleys to the Snowy Mountain range History leaves the footprints of our Ancestral days A nation built with courage, they’ve toiled to shine the light A future paved of freedom, of hope and dreams alike This is a Dreamland so wide and free Such beauty from the red rock to the sea A land of hope where hearts run free This is Australia Our wealth is in the people, the key to where they stand With hearts as big as Uluru, they’ll lend a helping hand An all-infectious smile, a common Aussie trait With open arms they’ll welcome you, a simple “G’day Mate” This is our Dreamland so wide and free Such beauty from the red rock to the sea A land of hope where hearts run free This is Australia
