Leaving

Down near the racecourse where the market gardens used to run rife

When we first moved in I'd hear horses in the dead of the night

That old avenue of trees, took a century to make

History replaced, we negative geared them away yeah

I used to drive trucks and machinery for 10 dollars an hour

Labour the days in the sun and sleep through the night

Along the way I swapped those gloves for a tie, a two button suit

My phones been running my life, but baby

I'm not leaving your kiss, I'm not leaving our kids, but I'm leaving this life

I'm leaving these 5 am phone calls with people I don't even like
