Never Was At All

Lyrics

They say I'm getting older and my hair is turnin' grey They say I should be slowing down, give it all away Living like a gypsy doesn't bother me at all And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' Now, I could've been a shearer and I could've been a vet Could've been a lot of things, of this much you can bet A man can sit there hangin' like a picture on the wall But I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' Oh, Id sooner be 'has been' than a 'never was at all' All my life I had a go, really had a ball If you don't climb the ladder, mate, then you can never fall And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' When I look at that old suitcase and I think of how it was The bad times and the good times, hey, and we did it just because I know I had to try it and today I'm standing tall Cause I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' Now, you won't reach the finish line if you don't ever start You'll never live and you'll never love if you don't have a heart So don't just sit there whinging mate, it's no damn good at all And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' Oh, Id sooner be 'has been' than a 'never was at all' Give it everything I'd got, really had a ball If you don't climb the ladder, mate, then you can never fall And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all' Oh laydee oh, laydee Oh, laydee
