      So, where are you from? I grew up in Penrith. I know this is not exclusive to one place, but nostalgia of making lifelong friends and playing music for the first time will always stay with me. Plus having a premiership-winning NRL team doesn't hurt.

      BEEN THE ONLY ONE

      WHEN I KNEW LITTLE PURPOSE, YOU BECAME THE ONLY ONE AND WHEN THERE WAS RAIN, YOU STAYED THE ONLY ONE…. BRINGING SOME LIGHT, GIVING ME STRENGTH

      THROUGH ALL THE STORMS, YOU BEEN THE ONLY ONE AND I KNOW THERE’LL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE…

      LETTING YOU IN…. YOU’RE HOLDING MY HEART

      SO SCARED TO DEATH, I CAN ONLY HOLD MY BREATH YOU CAME IN THROUGH PLACES

      THAT I HAD LONG SINCE SEALED THROUGH THE YEARS AND TOO MANY TERS ONLY YOU FROM A MILLION FACES

      ONLY YOU FROM A MILLION FACES

      I TRIED TO RESIST YOUR PULL

      DON’T KNOW WHY, HAD TO SAY GOOGDBYE BUT I NEVER FELT SO EMPTY

      ALWAYS FELT SO LOST

      YOU KEPT WALKING AROUND IN MY MIND

      OF A MILLION PEOPLE, YOU SEEM TO KNOW ONLY ME OF A MILLION PEOPLE, I ONLY KNOW YOU

      YOU HOLD THE CODE TO MY HEART EVEN WHEN MY HEAD KEEPS US APART

      BUT OVER AND OVER, I STILL FEEL THE PAIN I REFUSE TO THINK ANYMORE

      BUT MY LOVE DOESN’T WANT TO GO BUT DOESN’T KNOW

      END OF THAT WHOLE MESS

      AND IT’S THE END OF THIS WHOLE MESS!

      HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN?

      I NEED LESS BRAUN AND MORE BRAIN MEMBRANE GOD, I’M GLAD IT’S OVER, I GOTTA CONFESS

      JUST THE END OF MY LATEST BIG MESS

      NO SENSE FOR THE BIG BIG PRETEND STAR-CROSSED LOVERS FROM THE START HE WAS FRESH OUT OF THE ARMY

      SHE JUST HANGING WITH A GIRLFRIEND WITH HER GIRLFRIEND

      LOVERS FIRST MAYBE FRIENDS LAST SOMETHING MISSED ALONG THE WAY THEY STARTED FAST, ENDED FASTER

      DOOMED SOON TO BE A THING OF THE PAST IN THE PAST…

      LIFE’S JOURNEY DOLES OUT THE PAIN HIS EMPTY SOUL TO MY BROKEN HEART

      MY SHATTERED DREAMS AND FALSE HOPES IF THERE’S A SUN, I GET ALL THE RAIN

      A LOT OF RAIN……

      EAST OF EDEN and WEST OF HELL

      SOMEWHERE EAST OF EDEN AND WEST OF HELL IN EAST OKLAHOMA, IT’S JUST A LITTLE TOWN

      THAT WREAKED HAVOC OF MORE WRONG THAN RIGHT BAD JUSTICE THAT LET A LOT OF GOOD MEN DOWN AND WHEN IT WOULD END, NOBOBY COULD TELL N NOBOBY COULD TELL

      IN THIS LITTLE PLACE, FEW PEOPLE TOOK UP THE FIGHT OH, EAST OF EDEN AND SOMEWHERE NEAR HELL. SOMEWHERE NEAR HELL

      MANY INNOCENT LIVES WOULD SOON BE LOST TO FIND A KILLER NO MATTER WHAT THE COST TO THE COPS, RON WILLIAMSON WAS THEIR MAN

      FOR THE SAVAGE MURDER OF ONE DEBBIECARTER AND THOUGH THERE WAS NO SHRED OF EVIDENCE

      FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS HE LIVED ON DEATH’S ROW

      HIS DAD, MOM, AND SISTERS HIS LIFE SEEMED SO LONG AGO FEW BELIEVED IN HIM…COPS KNEW THE TRUTH ALL ALONG THE SYSTEM KNEW IT HAD TO MAKE RIGHT WHAT WAS WRONG AND IT DID JUST THAT ONE DAY TO FREE AN INNOCENT MAN BUT IT WOULD BE A BITTERSWEET TIME FOR WILLIAMSON.

      WILLIAMSON WAS NOT THE POLICE’S ONLY CROOKED DESIRE THERE WAS DENNIS FRITZ THAT ALSO HAD THEIR EYRE ANOTHER INNOCENT MAN FRAMED FOR THE SAME CRIME

      THOUGH BOTH WOULD SURVIVE, THE TOLL WAS EXTREME WILLIAMSON WAS TERMINAL. THERE’D BE NO BIG DREAMS ALWAYS TO BE A

      PRISONER AND DEATH WOULD BE SOON…

      BESIDES THE CRIME AGAINST ONE DEBBIE CARTER THE COPS, THE JUDGE WORE THEIR SUIT OF ARMOUR

      THEY PAID OUT A FEW DOLLARS ALL COVERED IN BLOOD POWER CORRUPTS, ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY THEY AVOIDED CHARGES, PRISON AMONGST ALL THE MAYHEM ‘CAUSE THEY WERE LAWMAN WAY ABOVE ANY GREAT LAW.

      (JESUS BOOGIE) DID YOU HEAR WHAT THEY DI D TO HIM?

      DID YOU HEAR WHAT THEY DID TO HIM? DID YOU HEAR WHAT THEY DID TO HIM? NAILED HIM TO A CROSS

      AND LEFT HIM ALONE TO DIE....

      OH, DID YOU HEAR WHAT THEY DID TO HIM? HEAR WHAT THEY DID TO HIM............

      OH, THEY PUT HIM ON A CROSS ON A CROSS

      AND HIS PEOPLE, OH....THEY FELT THE LOSS FELT THE LOSS

      THEY ASKED, WHY'D THEY DO THIS TO HIM DO THIS TO HIM)

      AND HIS CHANCE'S, OH....THEY'RE LOOKING VERY DIM LOOKING VERY DIM

      BUT THE BELIEVERS, OH......THEY WILL NOT GIVE UP WILL NOT GIVE UP

      THEY DANCE ALL AROUND, SO HE CAN CLEARLY SEE SO HE CAN CLEARLY SEE

      ALL OF THEM DOING THE JESUS BOOGIE

      ALL OF THEM DANCING TO THE JESUS BOOGIE .......... ALL OF THEM DOING THE JESUS BOOGIE

      OH, AND THEY STAYED THROUGH THE DARK THROUGH THE DARK

      CLEANED THE WOUND'S...WHERE NAILS LEFT THEIR MARK OH, LEFT THEIR MARK

      AND THEY ASKED, LORD WILL YOU

      BE BACK? WILL YOU BE BACK?

      THEN HIS EYES'S, OH....THEY BOTH

      STARTED TO OPEN BOTH STARTED TO OPEN

      AND A SMILE CAME WHERE A FROWN HAD BEEN A FROWN HAD BEEN

      HE SAID DANCE AROUND, SO I CAN CLEARLY SEE SO I CAN CLEARLY SEE

      OH.... AND THEY DANCED UNTIL THE MORNING LIGHT 'TILL THE MORNING LIGHT

      GAVE HIM WATER, UNTIL THE LORD HAD NO MORE FIGHT HAD NO MORE FIGHT

      BUT THEY HEARD, THE GOOD LORD BEGIN TO SPEAK.... OH, BEGIN TO SPEAK
