An Ordinary Bloke (Remastered 2017) - Lee Kernaghan/Garth Porter

Jack can you tell me

I don't understand

Why you're breaking your back

In this wretched land

Why do you do it so though

With so little to show

He shrugged his shoulders and said

It's just what i know

And out in the scrub

He's sinking a bore

He's coverd in grease

And his knuckles are raw

But he won't pack it in till the

Brown water flows

Ask him why and he'll tell you

It's just what he knows

He's just an ordinary bloke

And he's doing us proud

What he's putting in keeps

The wheels going round

Every day he'll be out there

Battling or broke

But he shoulders the country

This ordinary bloke

A neghbour calls up

Says he'll need every man

There's a scrub fire burning

And it's got out of hand

He'll help out his mate

It's just how it goes

And he won't count the cost

It's just what he knows

He's just an ordinary bloke

And he's doing us proud

What he's putting in keeps

The wheels going round

Every day he'll be out there

Battling or broke

But he shoulders the country

This ordinary bloke

When war broke out in Europe

Came the call to enlist

And that brave Aussie boy with

That big heart of his

Had something called honor

Etched in his bones

And he laid down his life

Doing just what he knows

He's just an ordinary bloke

And he's doing us proud

What he's putting in keeps

The wheels going round

Every day he'll be out there

He's just an ordinary bloke

And he's doing us proud

What he's putting in keeps

The wheels going round

Every day he'll be out there

Battling or broke

But he shoulders the country

This ordinary bloke
