Brendon Walmsley – Rolling Up His Sleeve lyrics

Album: Bottle Tree Lane

Working in the burning sun it's never been this dry
He's seen enough for hearts to break, to make a grown man cry
But he's out on the tractor with a reason to believe
He's still got a job to do - he's rolling up his sleeve

Tough as leather strong as steel
Tries to fight what he might feel
Only does what he knows best
When the rest have gone
He'll be staying on
You know he'll always be the last to leave
When he's rolling up his sleeve

Friday night a quiet beer down at the local bar
Some boys are in from out of town, they've gone one step too far
And they're picking on the waitress, til he says ?You let her be?
But sometimes words are not enough - he's rolling up his sleeve

REPEAT CHORUS

He can work hard in the heat take on any man
But he can't face the waitress when she takes him by the hand
She'd know he cared if he would wear his heart was on his sleeve
But he keeps it rolled up tight another night the last to leave

REPEAT CHORUS
