about

This song was written in 2017 and recorded in Byron bay in 2021, when I wrote this song I was thinking a lot about when I was little, I used to travel a lot and we were always going up and down the old highway from Coffs harbour to Mullumbimby, we would always drive through the old sugarcane towns and i always wondered what it would be like to live there in an old house on stilts right next to the highway with nothing but sugar cane all around you.

lyrics

Baby please don't go away,

We could build a life by the old highway

and I could get a job at the mill

keep you warm and pay your bills

baby if you take my name

we could build a house out of sugarcane

baby if you take my name

we could build a house out of sugarcane

This could be heaven

this could be hell

you could work nights at the old hotel

i could sing songs

at the old school hall

you could dress up for nobody at all

and I don't need no holiday

I could stay with you and die of old age

and I would give my life to that mill just so you could turn the church into a new cafe

baby if you take my name

we could build a house out of sugarcane

baby if you take my name

we could build a house out of sugarcane

This could be heaven

I can see hell

spent to many nights at the old hotel

they tore down, the old school hall

you still dress up for nobody at all
