At the start of my new career
But they are moving on ahead
I could never hurt anyone
In leaps and bounds
That I've come to know
Well, they say down south
Comes a time to go
They're havering minor ups and downs
Least of all you
Why, boy, they're playing our song
But I slipped away from home
It's just driving in this heat
Outside where no one can hear
Why, boy, they're playing our song
The sun won't set on my home town
Well, way down south
Because at every port of call
Why, boy, they're playing our song
Why, boy, they're playing our song
Well, it's a different walk of life
At the start of my new career
Outside where no one can hear
That gets me down
And now I'm gone
Why, boy, they're playing our song
Why, boy, they're playing our song
Outside where no one can hear
