Colin Buchanan - In His Blood lyrics

It's an early start but that's nothing new Making tracks through the heavy dew He's got black dog Betty Man's best friend Get the ewes in the yard Get the wethers penned Tony sees the clouds in the distance He's heard the forecast it's not what he wanted to hear Sometimes he thinks he might throw it away But it's in his blood and I think it's there to stay Been a summer that he'll never forget Paddocks of burrs and the grounds still wet He's got the John Deere bogged And he's seeing red He wants the seed in the ground And not in the shed Tony sees the clouds in the distance He's heard the forecast it's not what he wanted to hear Sometimes he thinks he might throw it away But it's in his blood and I think it's there to stay And he's no stranger to the great unknown No one knows what the future holds You can only do your best and take what comes your way Whatever comes your way ... It's the footrot flyblown summer blues Sweatin' blood and crutchin' ewes He's got a dozen plans skippin' thru his mind Getting further and further and further behind Tony sees the clouds in the distance He's heard the forecast it's not what he wanted to hear Sometimes he thinks he might throw it away But it's in his blood and I think it's there to stay
