Lyrics
‘I WAS THERE’
Verse 1.
When my son was born I looked at his hands
Wondered if he’d play like his old man
Never really thought that he would change my life
When he turned twenty four I had to say
I’m proud of who you are today
I’ll sing you a song to celebrate your life
Chorus 1.
I was there, wouldn’t change a thing
For one million dollars, not anything.
I was there, couldn’t keep me away
If you wanna change, do it today
Verse 2.
Back in the day when we were running free
The boys would head up to Sunbury
With a pocket full of hope and a esky filled with cans
You couldn’t beat the music grown right here
The best of bands and beer
Our picture in the paper it brought it all back to me
Chorus 2.
I was there, wouldn’t change a thing
For one million dollars, not anything.
I was there, couldn’t keep me away,
If you wanna change, do it today
Bridge
Do you ever get the feeling times running out
The days are moving fast
Where the hell has everybody gone
Empty pages in your book, funny how the story runs
Bridges are not burned in just one day
Verse 3.
I remember the day my momma died
We held hands and cried
She thanked us many times for what we sang
I‘m happy for the memories bad and good
And this I’ve understood
Thank the Lord, I’m here and I can always say
I was there
Chorus 3 & 4.
I was there, wouldn’t change a thing
For one million dollars, not anything
I was there, couldn’t keep me away
If you wanna change, do it today
REPEAT AND FADE OUT
