a country balladeer
Singer:john williamson
will you ever stop singing chad
do you think you might retire
lie right back in grandpa's chair
in front of the open fire
i thought that might be it
you're just like a young bloke
this stage i'll never leave
i'll push out another song
as long as there's a sunrise
i'll always tune me throat
as long as the fish are biting
i'll never leave the boat
ah that's what it's like to be a country balladeer
it'll never up and leave you lonely
there's nothing new about it
do you think you'll drop the guitar
head into the hills and disappear without a trace
if you reach a hundred albums
they'll tell you that's enough
no you'll be just the same as me
you've hit the nail on the head
