FIFO Song (Everytime That I Went Away) Lyrics

Where I am don't matter

It matters where I'm not

I'm not where love can wrap itself around me

Work this swing a year or two

Then dream up something better

Something better than my father knew before me

Been digging this hole for so damn long

It's taking me down with it

But it's easy just to name your price

Hard to know your limit sometimes

Will I find my finish line

Somewhere in this dirt beneath my feet

But I've come to realise

Everybody has their price

And for each and every one

A price to pay

And my kids only got bigger

Everytime that I went away

Tried to be a month of something

The one week that was mine

Flying in and out of sight

And out of mind

We'd get to know each other

Everytime that I came home

Felt like more of them and less of me to know

The years kept going by

And every promise that I made myself

I promised her I'd keep

Another day

And my kids only got bigger

Everytime that I went away

And I hope that it seems worth it

When I'm working my last day

And my dreams have waited for me

My dues are all well paid

It's a livin'

But it's not the life I thought that it would be

And this devil that I've known

Strangely makes me feel at home

When my home can make a stranger out of me

But I've come to realise

Everybody has their price

And for each and every one

A price to pay

And my kids only got bigger

Every time that I went away

Where I am don't matter

It matters where I'm not

I'm not where love can wrap itself around me
