lyrics

Jackie Howe sheared 300 sheep in a single day
Working through an aching back sweating for his pay
Gun cane cutters down sugarbag road cut 40 ton
Steel backs leather hands slogging in the sun

Chorus

I’m feeling slow trying to run
I’m feeling green weighing a ton
I’m in the shadows looking for sun
I’m on the green side green side of a gun

George Miller from Chinchilla made brilliant flicks
Geoffrey Rush from the Darling Downs had all the tricks
Young men from the small towns giving it a burl
Two great movie guns taking on the world

Chorus

Every generation has to find their solution on the run
Every person trying to find some constitution like a son of a gun

Don Walker Paul Kelly story tellers in song
Bout everyday people fragile and strong
Songs there forever victory and strife
Gun writers great songs songs of life

Chorus
