[Verse 1]
I walked in here off the dirty mile
Swaggered in with a prison style
Aching bones and dirty feet;
Needing a bed and something to eat
I played for you and I played it right
I sang in tune and I danced all night
I cooked at you as the only one;
I didn't know it could come undone
[Verse 2]
I hit the road when I was fifteen
When my mother died and my dad got mean
I've been locked up since twenty-one
I was my mother's only son
Forgotten most from early days
But I remember what she used to say:
"Little boy you're my pride and joy
The only good thing about old Fitzroy"
[Chorus]x2
I feel the walls are falling down around;
It makes me loathe that town somehow
I've been drinking all the wrong
Things all night
I've been thinking about what
I've got to do to survive this life
Old Fitzroy was written by Dan Sultan.
Old Fitzroy was produced by Jherek Bischoff & Missy Higgins.
Missy Higgins released Old Fitzroy on Fri Sep 19 2014.
