Big Sundown Lyrics by Lorkin O’Reilly

2024

[Verse 1]
Well when was a child mother told me "Son"
Don't succumb to [?]
Wait for your day to come
Dad drank like a fish
Watching Geronimo
On the couch with his belly out and a cloud of Richmond smoke
We snuck around the back
With the light of the TV glow
[Chorus]
Tell me where or when could I leave
Take your brother's car, I'll drive for free
The pylon eyes are coming 'round on the day of the big
Day of the big sundown
[Verse 2]
I worked all summer saving, up to fly the nest
I was cutting grass in the cul-de-sac on a two stroke cub Cadet
I was dreaming of the bushmen and thе northern desert sky
Martin Cash and Old Ball Jack in thе Great Australian Bight
Well I pushed that motor around
Every goddamn house in town
[Chorus]
Tell me where are we going, what's the plan
We could cut cloth in the promised land
I could see you smile man
Riding out on the way to the big
Way to the big sundown
[Bridge]
Cause a road will open up
And at least that's what I hope What I hope, what I hope it does
[Verse 3]
Well we got to Darwin harbour, was the fall of 83
Foreman had us pourin' asphalt by a sewage treatment facility
Said you couldn't find the end of a shovel Cause you can't teach stupid how
Now boys go ahead fellas
It's now or never and these holes don't fill themselves
I said thank you very much
But I think we'd best be off
[Chorus]
Tell me where are we going or when can we stop
Do you reckon Jimmy Cook man, ever felt lost
I wonder if he turned around, way to the big
Way to the big sundown
Cause a road will open up
And at least that's what I hope
What I hope, what I hope it does
