Come Fly In Fly Out With Me Lyrics

I don't need your degrees in forty degrees

Summer heat beat down on BlueRapta sunnies

I break my body for a hole dug to burn more coal

And I spend every payday at the same watering hole

They give me pills for the pain and I'm back on the tools

Been six months since mum and dad called me a fool

Bank balance still zero but I live like a king

Crown took all my money but still I can sing

I'll keep searching for the job that gets me somewhere I can stand up

On my two feet I can dream of my own house I'll forfeit later

And when it comes tumbling down

I'll be on the first airplane out of town

Card in the red, but face full of mirth

The flight attendant smiles says 'next stop, Perth'

Don't tell me I made a mistake

I dropped out of high school it was make or break

Hold a sign in the heat for 50 bucks an hour

Blow it all on cocaine and back in eight hours

My mother always said I was young and fit

But the mines made all my mates paraplegics

'That's the way it goes' said the foreman as he sat

In the aircon office with the fire warden's hat

The boss makes a dollar while I make a dime

So I warm the crack pipe on company time

Then tool around in a scissor lift trying to find

A good reason I'm still in this desert alive

But the sea of sand makes me feel mad

Am I a real man if I say I miss my dad

I can imagine him now, 'I told you so'

But he'd still forgive me and let me live at home
