Home And Broken Hearted Lyrics

Home And Broken Hearted lyrics

Hiked up to Sydney in the week before Christmas
It was thirty-eight degrees
in the shade
Bought a second-hand Morris for a cheap two-twenty
And drove
it down to Adelaide
She boiled for an hour twenty miles out of Euston
I
thought the heat would never end
But I knew I'd be home for Christmas with
my Sandy
And a few extra dollars to spend

I drove it to the buyer
just as fast as I could go
I was talking to his teenage son
I sure hope
it lasted for the poor little bastard
At least until he'd had some fun
I
caught a taxi homeward with great anticipation
Thinkin' all you have to do
is try
There was a note propped up against the dressing table
mirror
"Dear Jimmy, it's over, goodbye!"
Home and broken
hearted
I've been pasted to the telephone
Boxing Day break was wasted
sitting home on my own
The beer we bought for Christmas ran dry this
afternoon
And on the radio it's New Year's Eve
What a low down time of
the year to pack your luggage and leave

Went to a party, tried to drink
myself happy
The steaks were washed away in the rain
Finished up in bed
with an old acquaintance
She'll never be my friend again
And everyone was
asking me where's the little woman
Rolled home before the rain could
stop
I've been sitting for days reading pre-Christmas papers
With my
heels on the table-top
