Jimeoin - Never Meant To Stay lyrics

Whenever I first came out to australia I brought two pairs of dms And three pairs of jeans A ticket to australia With a head full of dreams And there was tears at the airport And I wrote a letter on the way And I stopped off in singapore But only for a day But I Never meant to stay no It was only meant to be for For a holiday Oh but I've I've overstayed now And I pray now For an amnesty The plane landed in at botany On a day that was very hot And this time the irish had invaded the place Without having to fire a shot And I went to the hotel bondi if you know it And bought a schooner of new And sitting drinking it in the sun That's when I knew But I Never meant to stay no It was only meant to be for For a holiday Oh but I I've overstayed now And I pray now For an amnesty Two hundred years ago they were Shippin' us out Nineteen eighty-eight they were Flyin' us back There's no guards or chains A-keepin' me here But if they caught me They'd probably send me back But I Never meant to stay no Was only meant to be for For a holiday Oh but I I've overstayed now And I pray now For an amnesty I had a backpack But I just ended up gettin' a job I never got round to travelling I just hit the grog Then I moved to the suburbs And I got married, with a kid I've got rms instead of dms now The jeans no longer fit But I Never meant to stay no Was only meant to be for For a holiday Oh but I I've overstayed now And I pray now For an amnesty
