The Mighty Murray Lyrics
I'm heading for the farm
I’m mentally, I am physically exhausted
Sparse beauty
But not everyone understands
Is the charm
Hundreds of cars don't see anything
The summer's heat
Must be too damn blinding
A bridge
A river doesn’t change
The state of mind
In this state of mind
I'd love to have a beer with you
Too old, as many or as few
As you would like
There's not too much feed around is there pop?
No not bloody any
I'll have to head off soon pop
Please can it only ever be me leaving?
Oh I'd love to have a beer with you to pop
Because pop you'll always my mate
Hey house, hey man, when I was changed
A state of mind
In this town of mine
