"Steel Town (Knights Version)" lyrics

(Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle)
(Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle)
(Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle)

I wrecked my first car on Burton Road
First time I saw life flash before my eyes
On my 18th birthday I fell in the lake
Closest I ever got to being baptized

Drinkin' VB in the back seat
Of Ben's yellow Toyota
Some nights I close my eyes and go there

That old light house shining down
Sound of a Newcastle Knights crowd
The gravel road to my childhood house
In the heart of a steel town
Out racing V8's in the streets
And counting coal ships from the beach
A part of me will always be
In the heart of a steel town

I played my first show at the Cambridge Hotel
For free beer, and 3 people
And one of 'em was my dad
Spent 6 years in an old van
With my brother and an old friend
Playin' bar shows every weekend
'Til we ran outta gas

Bought a one way to Nashville
Swore I wouldn't look back
But these days I can't help but miss that

That old light house shining down
Sound of a Newcastle Knights crowd
The gravel road to my childhood house
In the heart of a steel town
Out racing V8's in the streets
And counting coal ships from the beach
A part of me will always be
In the heart of a steel town

Most of my friends have moved away
And that old gravel road's been paved
Oh but some things never change
In the heart of a steel town

They're still racing V8's in the streets
And counting coal ships from the beach
A part of me will always be
In the heart of a steel town
In the heart of a steel town
I was born in a steel town
With the heart of a steel town
