Lyrics
Verse 1
Took me twenty years of lifting
Things that should’ve had a crane
Now I make a cup of coffee
And somehow pull something again
Got a toolbox full of answers
For everything except for me
Everything I own is held together
Better than I’ll ever be
Pre-Chorus
Doctor said, “You gotta take it easy”
I said, “Mate, that sounds ok”
“But unless you’re paying off my mortgage
I’ll be back at work Monday”
Chorus
I got the busted back blues
Every morning something new
My right knee clicks, my left hip sticks
And my neck just joined the party too
I got bills that need paying
So I do what working men do
Bit of heat, grit the teeth
And keep punching on through
Verse 2
Used to jump down off the tailgate
Never gave it a second thought
Now I’m looking for a handrail
Just to get myself aboard
Dropped a tenner in the driveway
Stood there staring at the ground
Thought, “If the wind don’t blow it closer
That ten bucks is staying down”
Pre-Chorus
My missus says, “You’re getting older”
Like that’s news I need to hear
I said, “Darlin’, I’m not getting older
I’ve just had a shitty year”
Chorus
I got the busted back blues
Every morning something new
My right knee clicks, my left hip sticks
And my neck just joined the party too
I got bills that need paying
So I do what working men do
Bit of heat, grit the teeth
And keep punching on through
Bridge
I’ve fixed fences, cars and engines
Made broken things run good as new
Funny how I can fix damn near anything
Except the bloke holding the tools
Final Chorus
I got the busted back blues
Yeah, I’m held together loose
Couple aches, couple scars
And some language I can’t use
But tomorrow when that alarm goes off
I know exactly what I’ll do
Roll out slow, straighten up
And sing the busted back blues
Outro
Everything I own
Is held together better than me…
Ah, she’ll be right.
