Who I Am (feat. James Johnston)

It's where I hang my hat

It's where my roots runs deep

It's the earth my father's father turned

On the land where they raised me

It's looking down at these hands

Tell the story of the years

Flood to wash the dust away

Drought to dry the tears

It's who I am, it's what I do

Living life out on this sunburned land, it might not be for you

All I know (All I know)

It's what I love (What I love)

And I'll do this 'til the day I die and I'll never give this up

And I'll spend the rest of my days with dirt upon my hands

'Cause this is who I am

It's the records that I wore out

It's the heroes on my wall

It's the dream that I've been dreaming of

Since I was six years old

It's the songs that I keep writing

It's the miles that I drive

It's the little bar in this town

I'm playing at tonight

It's who I am (Who I am)

It's what I do (What I do)

And pouring your heart out on to a stage, it might not be for you

But all I know (All I know)

It's what I love (What I love)

So l'll do this 'til the day I die and I'll never give this up

And I'll spend the rest of my days playing in this band

'Cause this is who I am (Who I am, who I am, oh)

He's a miner in the top end, she's a nurse on the night shift

A single mother working part-time jobs to raise three kids

He's a ringer riding fences, a truckie hauling freight

It's something deep inside us all and I'm proud to say

It's who I am

And this is what I do

Yeah, this life ain't for everyone

Hell, ain't that the truth?

But all I know (All I know)

It's what I love (What I love)

So I'll do this 'til the day I die and I'll never give this up

And I know some days it won't go to plan

But I'll still be out here doin' what I can

'Cause this is who I am (Who I am, who I am)

Oh, this is who I am (Who I am, who I am)

Yeah, this is who I am
