Never Was At All

They say I'm getting older and my hair is turnin' grey, They say I should be slowing down, give it all away. Living like a gypsy doesn't bother me at all, And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all'. Now, I could've been a shearer and I could've been a vet, Could've been a lot of things, of this much you can bet. A man can sit there hangin' like a picture on the wall, But I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all'. Oh, Id sooner be 'has been' than a 'never was at all', All my life I had a go, really had a ball. If you don't climb the ladder, mate, then you can never fall, And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all'. When I look at that old suitcase and I think of how it was, The bad times and the good times, hey, and we did it just because. I know I had to try it and today I'm standing tall, Cause I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all'. Now, you won't reach the finish line if you don't ever start You'll never live and you'll never love if you don't have a heart. So don't just sit there whinging mate, it's no damn good at all And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all'. Oh, Id sooner be 'has been' than a 'never was at all', Give it everything I'd got, really had a ball. If you don't climb the ladder, mate, then you can never fall, And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all'. And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than a 'never was at all'. Oh laydee oh, laydee Oh, laydee
