SINCE I&rsquo;VE BEEN AROUND (written by Josh Cunningham) 
 
Walking down the main street of the town where I was born 
Looking at these things I&rsquo;ve seen so many times before 
I take a deep breath, smile and kick a stone along the ground 
Been so long, since I&rsquo;ve been around 
 
There&rsquo;s comfort in the way that everything still looks the same 
People that I bump into; they call me by my name 
It almost feels as though I never even left this town 
Been so long, since I&rsquo;ve been around 
 
My girlfriend lived on Hawdon Street &ndash; man was she a sight 
Sometimes I would sneak into her bedroom late at night 
Now she&rsquo;s not there &ndash; I&rsquo;m told her family long since left the town 
Been so long, since I&rsquo;ve been around 
 
Yeah many of my friends found some other place they&rsquo;d rather be 
But I still know of one good mate, she gonna keep me company 
I think I&rsquo;ll gonna call her up, we&rsquo;ll go and paint the town 
Been so long, since I&rsquo;ve been around 
 
I stopped on by her place, years ago I knew her well 
&lsquo;Let&rsquo;s go drink to old times at the Adelaide Hotel&rsquo; 
She said it&rsquo;s twenty years now since they shut that old pub down 
Been so long, since I&rsquo;ve been around 
 
Yeah but the hospital&rsquo;s still standing, down over by the river shore 
That&rsquo;s the place where I took my first breath, so many years before 
I take a deep breath now and feel my chest begin to pound 
Been so long, since I&rsquo;ve been around 
 
Now I&rsquo;m lying by the river feeling lazy in the shade 
Children shout and splash about in water where I played 
And I&rsquo;m thinking I could stay a while, maybe settle down 
Been so long, since I&rsquo;ve been around
