Ship My Body Home Lyrics

Official lyrics for Ship My Body Home, performed by Ben Lee.

Coming out of sydney Country music playing Cursing all of them who stayed In the city I own this city Get drunker than a poet who just got paid And i'm finally hoping That i'll be torn open So that every word i say is true The words i'm shouting While i work it out In case trouble takes me and i don't make it through You have to ship my body home Ship my body home All i ever wanted was to finish what i started But there's no way i could do it on my own You have to ship my body home Driving through the mountains Cutting through the night time Stopping now and then to wonder why I left the city The quiet city I killed its memory just to watch it die And i'm finally hoping That i'll be torn open So that every word i say is true The words you're hearing While i make it clear In case trouble takes me and i don't make it through You have to ship my body home Ship my body home All i ever wanted was to finish what i started But there's no way i could do it on my own You have to ship my body Ship my body Ship my body All i ever wanted was to finish what i started So ship my body All i ever wanted was to finish what i started So ship my body All i ever wanted was All i ever wanted was All i ever wanted once i finished what i started Was to ship my body home
