Lyrics
0:21David never played guitar he was a postman on a bike
0:25He was just a simple man he never needed city lights
0:30From a small town called Sorrento in 1945 he was a child
0:41Oh and David drank his whiskey as he sat and watched the game
0:46He was a Collingwood supporter but don't hold that against him
0:51And one day he had a daughter
0:54Who taught him what it takes to raise her right
1:01Oh and nothing ever came for free for this oh so simple man
1:07He worked for every dollar and he paid for every can
1:12It was an honest life for an honest man
1:19Let's go back to Sorrento oh let's go back to the beach
1:24And we'll pick cowrie shells
1:26Have fish and chips with sand beneath our feet
1:29Well that simple life you loved
1:32Well I think that's the life for me
1:35That's the life I need
1:59And David met a girl who would soon become his wife
2:04And they had two kids and settled down
2:08And built a little slice of
2:10A little slice of heaven
2:12In a town they both called home small town Sorrento
2:20And as the time moves on old Sorrento turned to Rye
2:25He still read the morning paper and bet on horses every night
2:30Now his kids got kids of their own
2:33He was a grandpa overnight overnight
2:40Oh and nothing ever came for free for this oh so simple man
2:46He worked for every dollar and he paid for every can
2:51It was an honest life for an honest man
2:58Let's go back to Sorrento oh let's go back to the beach
3:03And we'll pick cowrie shells
3:05Have fish and chips with sand beneath our feet
3:08Well that simple life you loved
3:11Well I think that's the life for me
3:14That's the life I need
3:17Oh and even though you're gone that old Sorrento feels the same
3:22And just like you did as a kid they still play footy in the rain
3:28And one day when I'm done I'll see you smile again and you say
3:35Let's go back to Sorrento oh let's go back to the beach
3:39And we'll pick cowrie shells
3:41Have fish and chips with sand beneath our feet
3:45Well that simple life you loved
3:47Well I think that's the life for me
3:50Let's go back to Sorrento oh
3:55Let's go back to Sorrento oh let's go back to the beach
4:00And we'll pick cowrie shells
4:02Have fish and chips with sand beneath our feet
4:06Well that simple life you loved
4:08Well I think that's the life I need
4:11That's the life I need
4:20That might be the life for me
4:25That might be the life I need
4:30Let's go back to oh let's go back to the beach
