    A favourite song of mine "aussie country music" lyrics added



    Winter time Dad came home
    Dirty diesel and rust
    Pearly whites like diamonds
    Smiling through the dust
    Yummy mutton and pumkin
    For a hungry gutted crew
    We knew Mum loved us all to death
    And we all loved her too

    Well I couldn't wait to walk in my old ,man's shoes
    And what more could I ask
    To head off with my biscuit tin
    Black Tea in a thermos flask
    To learn to plough a real straight line
    And learn to be alone
    In ever diminishing circles
    Solve problems on my own

    Now it's considered normal
    To pass your acres down
    But if you've got more children
    Well you try to buy more ground
    So you borrow heaps of money
    Just to give your kids a go
    After all that's said and done
    You taught them all you know

    Now there were days we nearly sold
    With frost and then a drought
    Easier ways to make a quid
    Would sort the young ones out
    They say it builds your character
    Good women and good men
    Who turn around when the crop has failed
    And sow it all again

    So hold on tight you cockies
    I know the feeling well
    If you couldn't save the family farm
    Then you'd rather go to Hell
    No one will share your burden
    No one will share the blame
    And my heart goes out to the familes
    of The Farming Game.

    PS cockies is aussie slang for a famer

    edit pps The singer was a farmers son in some tough farming country Quambatook victoria. Left farm after series of crap years but was performing locally and got a "break" i beleive his brothers are still on original farm

    another edit mutton is sheep meat
