Another New Year

Another New Year By Kevin L Fairbrother 2014 done and dusted I’ve welcomed in 2015 With a beer and a crayfish Round a campfire with some friends … New resolutions, not for me old mate Cause I won’t keep what I promised So I’ll just open up the gate… and Let fate decide what’s in store for 2015 … Like the man in the barbed wire canoe Spearing tadpoles with a crow bar You can bet my year won’t be great But I’ll tough it out and see it through … I’ll do a bit of travel in me Ute and Van Probably round Australia and free camp When I can Catch up with some mates along the way Have a chin wag and a beer or two … I don’t really give a rat’s **** What goes on in this world of turmoil As long as they pay me pension I’ll just live my life as free as a bird … But I will say this old mate That’s it’s your family and friends That will get you through the gate Should a little trouble strike … So enjoy your life one and all Leave your troubles behind the gate Love your family, friends and mates Be kind to your heart, it has only so many beats … WELCOME 2015
