Paul Kelly - A Bastard Like Me Lyrics
Official




I was born in the bush near old Alice Springs
As far as you can get from the sea
My mother was a fighter, my daddy was too
He never knew a bastard like me

My brothers and sisters scattered like the wind
From the desert and the hills to the sea
Much too young, many died but I have survived
So lucky a bastard like me

Ooh, so lucky a bastard like me
I have survived a hell of a ride
Nobody knows a bastard like me

Call me a stray, a dog every day
Call me a mongrel half-breed
And mongrels are strong, so if you take me on
Watch out for a bastard like me

Ooh, you better watch out for a bastard like me
I fought all the way, I fight every day
You can't stop a bastard like me

I've taken my licks, I've taken my kicks
I am a man of degrees,
I wear the scars, I earned them so hard
Every day in the lucky country

Ooh, every day in the lucky country
I've taken my licks, I've kicked against the bricks
Oh, try and stop a bastard like me
