Catherine Britt - Charlestown Road lyrics

Mum yelled at us kids to put our toys away Play games that your sister can play My brothers learnt young they had to do it my way On Charlestown Road Cricket in the yard with the family Playing underneath that apricot tree Built a cubby house just my brother and me On Charlestown Road I still remember falling asleep each night To the sound of diesel engines and trucks rolling by Do we ever stop missing our childhood home No matter how far or where I roam I know I won't Charlestown Road Had to share a room just my brother and me The youngest two in our family The older boys got to have their own you see On Charlestown Road Catching cicada's in the big gum tree Hold them in your hands and then set them free Lying on the branches in the summer breeze On Charlestown Road I still remember falling asleep each night To the sound of diesel engines and trucks rolling by Do we ever stop missing our childhood home No matter how far or where I roam I know I won't Charlestown Road So different now I wouldn't recognise Where the roses grew is now fenced inside Seems like a memory, like a picture slide Charlestown Road
