"Who I Am" lyrics
(feat. James Johnston)
It's where I hang my hat
It's where my roots runs deep
It's the earth my father's father turned
On the land where they raised me
It's looking down at these hands
Tell the story of the years
Flood to wash the dust away
Drought to dry the tears
It's who I am
It's what I do
Living life out on this sunburnt land
It might not be for you
All I know
It's what I love
And I'll do this till the day I die
And I'll never give this up
I'll spend the rest of my days
With dirt upon my hands
Cause this is who I am
It's the records that I wore out
It's the heroes on my wall
It's the dream that I've been dreaming of
Since I was 6 years old
It's the songs that I keep writing
It's the miles that I drive
It's the little bar in this town
I'm playing at tonight
It's who I am
It's what I do
And pouring your heart out on to a stage
It might not be for you
But all I know
It's what I love
So I'll do this till the day I die
And I'll never give this up
And I'll spend the rest of my days
Playing in this band
Cause this is who I am
He's a miner in the top end
She's a nurse on the night shift
A single mother working part time jobs
To raise three kids
He's a ringer riding fences
A truckie hauling freight
It's something deep inside us all
And I'm proud to say
It's who I am
This is what I do
Yeah this life ain't for everyone
Hell ain't that the truth
But all I know
It's what I love
So I'll do this till the day I die
And I'll never give this up
I know some days it won't go to plan
But I'll still be out here doin' what I can
Cause this is who I am
This is who I am
Yeah, this is who I am
It's where my roots runs deep
It's the earth my father's father turned
On the land where they raised me
It's looking down at these hands
Tell the story of the years
Flood to wash the dust away
Drought to dry the tears
It's who I am
It's what I do
Living life out on this sunburnt land
It might not be for you
All I know
It's what I love
And I'll do this till the day I die
And I'll never give this up
I'll spend the rest of my days
With dirt upon my hands
Cause this is who I am
It's the records that I wore out
It's the heroes on my wall
It's the dream that I've been dreaming of
Since I was 6 years old
It's the songs that I keep writing
It's the miles that I drive
It's the little bar in this town
I'm playing at tonight
It's who I am
It's what I do
And pouring your heart out on to a stage
It might not be for you
But all I know
It's what I love
So I'll do this till the day I die
And I'll never give this up
And I'll spend the rest of my days
Playing in this band
Cause this is who I am
He's a miner in the top end
She's a nurse on the night shift
A single mother working part time jobs
To raise three kids
He's a ringer riding fences
A truckie hauling freight
It's something deep inside us all
And I'm proud to say
It's who I am
This is what I do
Yeah this life ain't for everyone

So I'll do this till the day I die
And I'll never give this up
I know some days it won't go to plan
But I'll still be out here doin' what I can
Cause this is who I am
This is who I am
Yeah, this is who I am
