about

The homesick lament of an East Coast Boy settled in Adelaide missing all his brothers, his sister and friends back east.
Feels like a hot hungover day in New Orleans.

lyrics

Where I come from there's hills up and down
D G
Every street that you want to go
C G
There's buildings so high that they pierce the sky
D G
And lots of people that I used to know

CH
C
But I left that home
G
To wander and roam
D G
Across this wide green, red and brown country
C
And it’s ringed with blue
G
Just like me too
D G
I got an East Coast family

Instrumental x 2

G
I came to the land with the red, red sand
D G
I was hungry and all out of love then
C
But they gave me food and they gave me a name
D G
And they put me on my feet again

CH
C
But I left that home
G
To wander and roam
D G
Across this wide green, red and brown country
C
And it’s ringed with blue
G
Just like me too
D G
I got an East Coast family

Instrumental x 2

V3

now in Adelaide both my children are here
D G
I got most everything a man could want
C
But my sister and brothers and all of the others
D G
Well they're in a place where I'm not

CH x 2

C
But I left that home
G
To wander and roam
D G
Across this wide green, red and brown country
C
And it’s ringed with blue
G
Just like me too
D G
I got an East Coast family

(2nd time)
D G
I got an East Coast family
D G
I got an East Coast family

1x short instrumental out
