Home And Broken Hearted Lyrics - Cold Chisel - Cold Chisel

Hiked up to Sydney in the week before Christmas 

It was thirty-eight degrees in the shade 

Bought a second-hand Morris for a cheap two-twenty 

And drove it down to Adelaide 

She boiled for an hour twenty miles out of Euston 

I thought the heat would never end 

But I knew I'd be home for Christmas with my Sandy 

And a few extra dollars to spend

I drove it to the buyer just as fast as I could go 

I was talking to his teenage son 

I sure hope it lasted for the poor little bastard 

At least until he'd had some fun 

I caught a taxi homeward with great anticipation 

Thinkin' all you have to do is try 

There was a note propped up against the dressing table mirror 

"Dear Jimmy, it's over, goodbye!" 

Home and broken hearted 

I've been pasted to the telephone 

Boxing Day break was wasted sitting home on my own 

The beer we bought for Christmas ran dry this afternoon 

And on the radio it's New Year's Eve 

What a low down time of the year to pack your luggage and leave 

Photos 

Went to a party, tried to drink myself happy 

The steaks were washed away in the rain 

Finished up in bed with an old acquaintance 

She'll never be my friend again 

And everyone was asking me where's the little woman 

Rolled home before the rain could stop 

I've been sitting for days reading pre-Christmas papers 

With my heels on the table-top
