Still The Way I Feel - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
Written by:Raymond Rose[00:00:01]
Just a saddle for my pillow[00:00:09]
And a blanket for my bed[00:00:12]
A swagwrap underneath me[00:00:15]
And a place to lay my head[00:00:18]
With the bright stars up above me[00:00:20]
And the night sounds all around[00:00:23]
Hear the tinkle of the horse bells[00:00:26]
Just before they're bedded down[00:00:29]
Life then was pretty simple[00:00:33]
And my needs were very few[00:00:36]
Just a good horse underneath me[00:00:39]
And the old friends I once knew[00:00:42]
Though my clothes were worn and dusty[00:00:45]
And my boots down at the heel[00:00:47]
I was always proud of what I was[00:00:50]
And it's still the way I feel[00:00:53]
Down a stock route in the cold and rain[00:00:58]
The heat the dust and sand[00:01:01]
Those old drovers don't exist no more[00:01:03]
And it's hard to understand[00:01:06]
Hear the heavy roar of diesels[00:01:09]
Of the road trains where we rode[00:01:12]
There's no stock route where it used to be[00:01:15]
Just a winding blacktop road hey[00:01:17]
The stories those old timers told[00:01:40]
In the campfires eerie glow[00:01:43]
Throwing shadows on their faces[00:01:46]
As they spoke in tones so low[00:01:49]
Hear the howling of the dingoes[00:01:52]
And smell the gidgee after rain[00:01:54]
Oh I'd give a lot to see and hear[00:01:57]
Those old bush sounds again[00:02:00]
But I've left it all behind me[00:02:04]
Like a lot have done before[00:02:07]
Our way of life's not good enough[00:02:10]
In this age of needing more[00:02:13]
But the trusting hand of friendship[00:02:16]
In the old days was so real[00:02:19]
I was always proud of what I was[00:02:21]
And it's still the way I feel yeah[00:02:24]
Life then was pretty simple[00:02:28]
And my needs were very few[00:02:31]
Just a good horse underneath me[00:02:34]
And the old friends I once knew[00:02:37]
Though my clothes were worn and dusty[00:02:40]
And my boots down at the heel[00:02:43]
I was always proud of what I was[00:02:45]
And it's still the way I feel[00:02:49]
