My New Career

[Verse 1] I never wanted to be on my own I could be wrong, but I just slipped away from home And now I'm gone Well, way down south They're having minor ups and downs But they're moving on ahead In leaps and bounds [Chorus] Why, boy They're playing our song Outside where no one can hear Why, boy They're playing our song At the start of my new career [Verse 2] Well, it's a different walk of life That I've come to know Because at every port of call Comes a time to go Well, they say down south The sun won't set on my home town It's just driving in this heat That gets me down [Chorus] Why, boy They're playing our song Outside where no one can hear Why, boy They're playing our song At the start of my new career My new career [Bridge] I could never hurt anyone Least of all you [Chorus] Why, boy They're playing our song Outside where no one can hear Why, boy They're playing our song At the start of my new career My new career
