He moved away to college
And he made some city friends
Who’d only seen in picture books
What he’d done on the land
And the lazy small-town goings-on
Seemed to lose their glow
But once it’s in your heart, boy
It’ll never let you go.
CHORUS
And when it rained
He thought of home
He talked of how the
farm was going
To his father on the phone
He should’ve learnt
He should’ve known
Whatever’s in your heart, boy
Will never let you go
She was city born and city bred
And she had a city smile
And she swept him off his Blundstone boots
With her Sydney North Shore style
He followed her to Manly Beach
He really should have known
She was a city girl at heart
And it would never let her go
CHORUS
The romance didn’t last long
The whole thing fell apart
The city life had chewed him up
And cut him to the heart
He wound the old Cortina up
And headed it for home
Coz it was in his heart
And he just couldn’t let it go
