lirik lagu the bushwackers – dirt under my nails
[verse 1]
now the days are long like i never knew
years pass so quick and the kids, they grew
i know i’m old and my mind is slow
but i paid my dues those years ago
we did the very best work that we could
and we worked every day both hard and good
said our prayers and we paid our debts
and i sit right here with few regrets
[chorus]
with the dirt under my nails i built, with the dirt under my nails
i built a home for my family with the dirt under my nails
[verse 2]
came down under after world war two
no work back home for us to do
up north, i cut sugarcane for three yеars
sent the money back homе to get the girl down here
didn’t meet my son till he was four years old
i swore i’d never let him go hungry or cold
i carry that concrete on my back
and i swore then i was gonna make my mark
and we saved every penny and we bought a home
italian work ethic paid off our loan
in only nine years, i’ve proven my worth
a homeowner on the other side of the earth, i built
[chorus]
with the dirt under my nails i built, with the dirt under my nails
i built a home for the family with the dirt under my nails
with the dirt under my nails i built, with the dirt under my nails
i built a home for my family with the dirt under my nails
[verse 3]
now my grandkids, they fill me with pride
my sons and daughters tuned out alright
take me for a walk when the weather’s fair
i spend most of my days sittin’ in my chair
and i tell them tales of the world long past
the years just seem to fly so fast
i tell ’em of the sacrifice
i tell them of a wonderful life, i built
[chorus]
with the dirt under my nails i built, with the dirt under my nails
i built a home for the family with the dirt under my nails
with the dirt under my nails i built, with the dirt under my nails
i built a home for my family with the dirt under my nails
with the dirt under my nails i built, with the dirt under my nails
i built a home for the family with the dirt under my nails
with the dirt under my nails i built, with the dirt under my nails
i built a home for the family with the dirt under my nails
[outro]
i built a home for the family with the dirt under my nails
