Lyrics

Jim's been married a hundred years
Though it feels that way sometimes
Three kids and a lovely wife
They're the reason he survives
A few thousand acres
About fifty k's from town
A lot of sun and not much rain
But it's like that all around
Oh Jim you work too hard
You work too much
You're letting go of your marriage
And your kids are growing up
So take the time
To watch your kids go climbing that old gum tree
Or running round the washing line
And kiss your wife
She's still the same girl you met that balmy summer's night
I know it can get hard in this busy life
But you gotta take the time
Well this old place is going well
But there's always jobs to do
A fence down, sheep to crutch
The bookwork's overdue
And your wife keeps saying
Can't we take a trip to town
Oh Jim drop the strainers
Drop the phone
What's the point of working hard
If you're ending up alone
So take the time
To watch your kids go climbing that old gum tree
Or running round the washing line
And kiss your wife
She's still the same girl you met that balmy summer's night
I know it can get hard in this busy life
But you gotta take the time
Time is money
Blah blah blah
You need to stop while you can see
Before you go too far
So take the time
To watch your kids go climbing that old gum tree
Or running round the washing line
And kiss your wife
She's still the same girl you met that balmy summer's night
I know it can get hard in this busy life
But you gotta take the time
Take the time
Kiss your wife
Take the time
