White Valiant - The Mutton Birds

You’re from the family that moved in up the valley

It’s lucky i picked you up and not somebody else

We’ll have to turn inland there’s been a landslide at the quarry

Though i say it myself you couldn’t have better help

If you found yourself losing your way though here

You can still see the moon

Though it’s the middle of the morning

You can smell the clay

Like i say, you can count yourself lucky

Not many people know this way

Let’s turn off for a minute, i’ve seen something

Let’s take a look now

Hold on tight, this stretch has needed fixing for years

Over there i knew it, can read these roads like a book now

If you drive them every day

In the last half hour a lot of cars have been through here

You can still see the moon

Though it’s the middle of the morning

You can smell the clay

Like i say, you can count yourself lucky

Not many people know this way

Here we are

On a hill over there

See all the cars parked in a field

And the crowd walking down the fenceline

You can still see the moon

Though it’s the middle of the morning

You can smell the clay

Like i say, you can count yourself lucky

Not many people know this way

Remember where we left the car

Remember where we left the car

Remember it’s a white valiant

Remember it’s a white valiant
