Leigh Creek Road

歌詞

It's hard hard living On the Leigh Creek Road Where dust you come - in dust you go And the sun strikes hard With a blinding glare Creeks are dry - plains are bare On the Leigh Creek Road Seven in the morning And it's thirty degrees And the day shift watches The night shift leave Grey shale shimmers Not even a breeze All that movies Is men and machines Here I am On the Leigh Creek Road Last night I drove To the edge of town Where the stars get up And the nights fall down I don't know Where I'm going to go Hope that I don't die here On the Leigh Creek Road Mind works over-time Dreams run free Dust-blown dreams And wild-eyed dreams You're earning big money By working the seam But you blow the lot In the company canteen On the Leigh Creek Road Empty laughter Smoky blue haze Nothing to do - late home again Single men's quarters Got a girl on the wall No-one to see - no one to call On the Leigh Creek Road It's hard hard living On the Leigh Creek Road Where dust you come - in dust you go And the sun strikes hard With a blinding glare Creeks are dry - plains are bare On the Leigh Creek Road
