Van Zyl 1 by Van Zyl Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Sittin' in the back of a bus stop in her dress short making drivers eyes pop
Shelly's ticking milestones making change small just to keep her kids fed and her mother in a home
And her daddy's long gone took the green off her lawn
Like a rolled up ciga-weed she's a fiend to the draw
And she's cancelling her weekends to find out
[Chorus 1]
Where they go
When they need love where do they go
At her age it's so much harder than it used to be
Love visits for a minute when she's standing by the tree
[Verse 2]
Bazza had a hat that he wore out with the lads now it doubles as his savings bank
Begging people on the street cause he's got nothing to eat bet he's missing all those MREs
Took a bullet to the back in a Taliban attack
Now his pension is a fucking stack
But they'd cancel in a flash if they found out
[Verse 3]
Cause his brother's still afloat but he's in the same boat, got a family of three to feed
And the bills they keep on rising like his daughter phantasising 'bout the guy who helps her read
She's a barely running sociopath who does it quick and fast
Cause it leaves 'em wanting more in class
Oh honey but my daddy he found out
[Chorus]
Where we go
When we need love where do we go
At our age it's so much harder than it needs to be
Love visits for a minute when she's walking up my street
[Bridge]
And I told myself
I would rather
I'd rather be anywhere else
But here
[Outro]
But I'm coming, I'm coming home
But I'm coming, I'm coming home
Coming I'm coming
[Verse 1]
Sittin' in the back of a bus stop in her dress short making drivers eyes pop
Shelly's ticking milestones making change small just to keep her kids fed and her mother in a home
And her daddy's long gone took the green off her lawn
Like a rolled up ciga-weed she's a fiend to the draw
And she's cancelling her weekends to find out
[Chorus 1]
Where they go
When they need love where do they go
At her age it's so much harder than it used to be
Love visits for a minute when she's standing by the tree
[Verse 2]

Begging people on the street cause he's got nothing to eat bet he's missing all those MREs

[Outro]
But I'm coming, I'm coming home
But I'm coming, I'm coming home
Coming I'm coming
