[Verse 1]
Paid my dues in the dust and rain
Bent-back days and a busted chain
Hands got scars from the worksite grind
Still I smile when the knock-off time
Boots on the mat, cap on the chair
Cold tin can and a wind-bit stare
You talk fancy, I just laugh
I wear my pride on a flanno shaft
[Pre-Chorus]
And when the night runs long
I don’t need much
Just that old red cloth
And a little bit of guts
[Chorus]
Flanno shirts
Better than hard yakka
Better than king G
It’s the flanno on me
Flanno shirts
Say what you wanna
I wear it rough
I wear it free
It’s the flanno on me
(on me)
[Verse 2]
Roads turn to dirt when the sky goes black
Spent half my life with a ute in back
Mates at the pub with a nod and grin
Same old yarns and the same old skin
No glass crown, no polished pose
Just a checkered life and a buttoned-up soul
If the world gets cold, let it bite
I got that red on my back tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
And when the night runs long
I don’t need much
Just that old red cloth
And a little bit of guts
[Chorus]
Flanno shirts
Better than hard yakka
Better than king G
It’s the flanno on me
Flanno shirts
Say what you wanna
I wear it rough
I wear it free
It’s the flanno on me
(on me)
[Bridge]
Yeah, I’ve been broke
Yeah, I’ve been beat
But I don’t fold
I don’t quit easy
[Breakdown]
Flanno on me
Flanno on me
Raw and plain
That’s home to me
[Final Chorus]
Flanno shirts
Better than hard yakka
Better than king G
It’s the flanno on me
Flanno shirts
Say what you wanna
I wear it rough
I wear it free
It’s the flanno on me
(on me)
Flanno shirts
Better than hard yakka
Better than king ghee
It’s the flanno on me
