Born To Survive

[00:15.09] There's an old John Deer underneath a tree
[00:19.34] 500 acres, my dad and me
[00:23.22] Worked this land until we hurt
[00:26.97] Trying to make a living outta plain old dirt
[00:37.92] Well, he never said nothing when mumma left
[00:42.13] Just kept his feelings to himself
[00:46.34] His pride was hurt and his heart was broke
[00:50.03] He sits and he rolls another smoke, says
[00:55.19] Son, this is all I know
[01:02.89] And I guess it goes to show
[01:06.90] He said
[01:08.76] We were born to survive outback life
[01:13.16] Generations of toil and strife
[01:18.13] We don't know any other way
[01:24.14] When the sun beats down so damn hard
[01:28.54] It's 40 degrees in the holding yards
[01:32.62] Got a 303 and a four-wheel drive
[01:36.27] Livin' out here we're born to survive
[01:47.08] Born to survive
[01:55.40] Well, a friend of mine name Willie Grace
[01:59.54] Held an auction at his old place
[02:03.90] The crowd gathered at quarter to three
[02:07.37] And walked away with his memories, but
[02:12.06] Something keeps him hangin' on
[02:19.98] Even when all hope was gone
[02:24.18] He said
[02:25.93] We were born to survive outback life
[02:30.20] Generations of toil and strife
[02:35.24] We don't know any other way
[02:41.30] When the sun beats down so damn hard
[02:45.62] 40 degrees in the holding yard
[02:49.33] Got a 303 and a four-wheel drive
[02:53.34] Livin' out here we're born to survive
[02:58.86]
[03:12.14] We were born to survive outback life
[03:16.31] Generations of toil and strife
[03:21.36] We don't know any other way
[03:27.48] When the sun beats down so damn hard
[03:31.76] It's 40 degrees in the holding yard
[03:35.69] Got a 303 and a four-wheel drive
[03:39.47] Livin' out here we're born to survive
[03:50.45] Born to survive
[03:58.58] Hey
