[Verse]
The black warrior stands in the desert haze
A flask of gin in the sun’s cruel blaze
He laughs at the heat with a fiery grin
And shares his spirit with the wind
[Verse 2]
A tramp stumbles by with dust on his face
A slice of damper his only grace
The warrior nods with a knowing eye
Gin for bread beneath the open sky
[Chorus]
Trade me your damper for a sip of my sin
Out here we’re all just kin in the wind
Life’s a barter beneath the sun’s glare
What’s mine is yours if you dare
[Verse 3]
The tramp took a swig and wiped his brow
Said life tastes better when shared somehow
The warrior chuckled his voice like a drum
Out here in the wild the rules are none
[Bridge]
The sand whispers tales of days long gone
Where survival’s a song and the road is long
They toast to the stars as the night creeps in
Two souls united by bread and gin
[Chorus]
Trade me your damper for a sip of my sin
Out here we’re all just kin in the wind
Life’s a barter beneath the sun’s glare
What’s mine is yours if you dare |
