Paul Kelly (Mushroom)
I was born in a crowded taxi
Daddy scooped me right up off the floor
And he carried me up the path through the big swinging doors
I was taught not to speak to strangers
But strangers always seemed to know my name
And they bought and sold my pleasure, my disgust and my shame
Now I`ve got debts to pay
I`ve got scores to settle
Dreams at break of day
Long nights in the saddle
It`s all downhill from here
Everyday brings changes in the mirror
Every hand that touches me is kind
When I think of home it sparkles and so brightly shines
But I`ve got debts to pay
I`ve got scores to settle
Dreams at break of day
Long nights in the saddle
It`s all downhill from here
