lyrics

Donald town in my mirror
AM radio
I got a full tank from Micky Raynes
His one liner had me laughing
All the way past Charlton
Guess I’m not the only one that entertains

Done more country miles
Than the old Vinelander
And I’ve never seen a road that’s boring
An Eksy and a six pack and a
Keyboard in the back
While my sangas almost finished thawing

I’m taking pills
For my heart palpitations
I’m singing songs
For my superannuation

But I’m slowing down for no one
Can’t you see?
As long as this stuff
Still sounds good to me

Well my first year back on farm
It didn’t rain
And I was left with nothing to do
So I ripped the front off Mum’s piano
While my farming hopes blew past the window
And I played all the summer through

In the early days we were three
Across the front bench seat of my HT
Jimmy in the middle with a bottle of beer
Clocking up a thousand miles a week
Blowing up engines, going like stink
Sleep was a lunchtime necessity

We used to get a lotta work
Playing Young Farmers Balls
These days I’ve got an earner
Rocking old timers’ halls

And I’m slowing down for no one
Can’t you see?
As long as this stuff
Still sounds good to me

Still smell the Bundy
I don’t miss the smokes
I guess that you can’t die now
From a white post overdose

One day they’ll say
‘the old grey mayor ain’t what he used to be’
Well they can take away my licence
They’ll never take my keys

Had a good run down to Brunswick yesterday
And I’m gonna play this one out to the end
And I’m slowing down for no one
Can’t you see?
As long as this stuff
still sounds good to me
