lyrics

The old truck, has broken down
How am I supposed to get out of this town
Looks like Cobden, in 1986
Got more chance of surviving a methamphetamine fix

I hitchhiked in a road-train to Colac
I did my best to get as far away as I could
Always get sucked back, never ending black hole
What’s so good about alcohol and football?

Woooh I got the small town blues

Been living in the town, for 21 years
I know every person and I know their fears
Boredom can kill a man, make him go insane
You gotta stick around here it’s in your culture it’s in your veins

My old man still lives, in this town
He pours himself a drink when he is feeling down
Gotta go work on the farm provide for your family provide for your son
Get up boy, it’s in your heritage, it’s in your veins, it’s in your blood

Woooh I got the small town blues
Woooh I got the small town blues
