lyrics
Yeah, I'm going back
I can smell the turf
On my old man's boots
When he kicks them off
The scent of my youth
Not on my clean floor!
My Ma would yell
But he'd grin at me
Get him a cold VB
Sit up on his knee
The game on TV
I'd be polishing those boots til they shone
He was a mean bastard when a mood took on
But in those good moments I wanted to be like him
And play
Yeah, it's under 15s
And I'm on the wing
With him meters away
Just over the line
Loosing his shit as always
You don't want it bad enough!
He shouts
With his squinty eyes
From that amber breaky
There's some girls havin
A good old laugh about me
It's the only time I see him now
On Saturday mornings at the oval
Since Ma kicked him outta home because of the drink
And he softens a bit after the game
Puts a tenner in my hand
Says he knows I can play
Then my mates call me over
And he's gone with a nod
And his paper bag
Yeah I'm in the change rooms
Underneath a stadium
Calling my name
Or baying for blood
Time to give them a game
Get out here and whip these bastards round!
When we come up the ramp
To the roaring mass
I'll sometimes look up
And think I see my Dad
Now I know I'm doing this 'cause of him
It's what he wanted from me
Not to turn to the drink
But we'll see how that goes
Won't we?
Yes we will
