Our Sunshine by Paul Kelly Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There came a man on a stolen horse
And he rode right onto the page
Burning bright but not for long
Lit up with a holy rage
No turning back for the child of grace
With the blood red on his hands
Never known to hurt a woman
He never robbed an honest man

[Pre-Chorus]
His mother held in jail, his daddy dead
And daily rising the price upon his head

[Chorus]
Our sunshine
Our sunshine
Through the fire and flood, through the dust and mud
Through tears and blood, still riding on

[Verse 2]
Forever trapped in a suit of steel
With the hotel burning behind
Betrayed by his companions
With the train waiting down the line
Forever tall on a bareback horse
Getting through by the skin of his teeth
It's one more for the ladies
Now one more for the police
[Pre-Chorus]
Riding all night hungry, tired and cold
Into the misty morning, he'll never grow old

[Chorus]
Our sunshine
Our sunshine
Through the fire and flood, through the dust and mud
Through tears and blood, still riding on

[Pre-Chorus]
As he stood before the judge’s chair
He said, "I’m free and easy – I’ll see you there!"

[Chorus]
Our sunshine
Our sunshine
Through the fire and flood, through the dust and mud
Through tears and blood, still riding on

[Outro]
The fire and flood, the dust and mud
The tears and blood
The fire and flood, the dust and mud
The tears and blood (Still riding on)
The fire and flood, the dust and mud
The tears and blood
