My New Career

I never wanted to be on my own

I could be wrong

But I slipped away from home

And now I'm gone



Well, way down south

They're havering minor ups and downs

But they are moving on ahead

In leaps and bounds



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



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



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



I could never hurt anyone

Least of all you



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
