Under southern skies

Verse 1

The alarm clock rings before the break of dawn,
Pull my work boots on and the day rolls on.
From the quarry dust to the coastal breeze,
It's a hard-earned life, but it comes easy to me.
Another sunrise over Sellicks way,
Making a living while the years roll away.
It ain't always easy, but I wouldn't trade,
The life that I've built at the end of the day.

Chorus

Under southern skies,
Living this life one day at a time.
Working hard and holding on,
To the things that make a house a home.
Through the good years and the tough ones too,
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than with you.
With love in our hearts and the stars shining bright,
We're chasing our dreams under southern skies.

Verse 2

There's a long line of hills where the gum trees sway,
And the setting sun paints gold on the clay.
With the people I love and the land I know,
I've got everything I'll ever need right here at home.
The sea breeze rolls in as the daylight fades,
Bringing peace to the worries of a working man's day.
I may never be rich, but I know I'm blessed,
'Cause the simple things in life have been the very best.

Chorus

Under southern skies,
Living this life one day at a time.
Working hard and holding on,
To the things that make a house a home.
Through the good years and the tough ones too,
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than with you.
With love in our hearts and the stars shining bright,
We're chasing our dreams under southern skies.

Verse 3

Saturday morning by the netball court,
Watching my daughter give it all she's got.
Every pass and every goal she makes,
Shows the kind of strength that nobody can fake.
She wears that smile and holds her head high,
Giving her best every single time.
Win or lose when the final whistle blows,
There's no one prouder than her dad, and she knows.

Chorus

Under southern skies,
Living this life one day at a time.
Working hard and holding on,
To the things that make a house a home.
Through the good years and the tough ones too,
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than with you.
With love in our hearts and the stars shining bright,
We're chasing our dreams under southern skies.

Verse 4

Sunday morning on the football ground,
The team's all here and the crowd's around.
I'm coaching my boy as he gives his all,
Chasing every kick and every bouncing ball.
Teaching him lessons that'll last for life,
Stand up strong when the pressure feels tight.
Play for your mates and wear your colours proud,
Give your best effort and you'll always stand out.

Bridge

One day the years will roll on by,
Like a freight train fading into the night.
But the stories we've made and the love we've known,
Will live on long after we're gone.
And when I look back down life's winding road,
It won't be the money or the things I've owned.
It'll be these moments, every laugh and every tear,
Spent with the ones I hold so dear.

Final Chorus

Under southern skies,
Still chasing dreams and living life.
With family close and good friends near,
The simple things are what we live for
