lyrics

These four things I own
Are all I’ve ever known
my brothers in arms are the first

My princess of night
She's my earthly delight
She stood by me when the worse came to worst

These four strings I play
never lead me astray
without them I’m a man on the run

This pint in my hand
here in Van Dieman’s Land
gives me more power than any man a gun

From the days of my youth
and to tell you the truth
I’ve walked many alleys and lanes
No shackles or chains
no bad blood in my veins
no color or flag were ever my restraints

(Chorus)
So I will keep on walking
while everyone stands still
(Still) believing
no matter what they say I’ll
fight the battles I’ve already lost
No matter what the cost

Walked the desert in the sun
with no place to run
I’ve always been backed up by you
Now I’m drifting away
though I wanted to stay
but I know your friendship is steady and true

I will keep on walking
while everyone stands still
(Still) believing
no matter what they say
I’ll fight the battles I’ve already lost
No matter what the cost

Now many miles away
and whichever way I sway
to my friends and my home I am bound
The road nears the end
and the death is at hand
with my middle finger up, I’m proudly standing ground

I will keep on walking
while everyone stands still
(Still) believing
no matter what they say
I’ll fight the battles I've already lost

...no matter what the cost (x2)
