Like A Family To Me - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
Written by:Ernie Constance[00:00:01]
Well the best is all behind you[00:00:02]
By the time you reach my age in years[00:00:05]
And the only luxuries you know[00:00:11]
Are a T bone steak and a round or two of beer[00:00:15]
And the roads you know are the distant tracks[00:00:20]
And the bulldust and[00:00:24]
The never ending spaces[00:00:25]
And the only family you know[00:00:30]
Is the smiling friendly outback peoples faces[00:00:33]
I've got no family of my own[00:00:39]
This old drivers always been[00:00:44]
A rolling stone[00:00:49]
But there's always someone waiting[00:00:52]
Waiting there beyond the saltbush sea[00:00:56]
No matter how long I've been gone[00:01:02]
They've always got the Billy on[00:01:05]
Waiting like a family for me[00:01:08]
There's always someone waiting[00:01:26]
On a lonely isolated cattle run[00:01:28]
Sitting on the stockyard rails[00:01:35]
To roll a smoke and watch the setting sun[00:01:38]
And we'll shake hands and we'll swap news[00:01:43]
Boil the Billy on the coals for tea[00:01:46]
By first light I'll be loaded up[00:01:52]
Sail again across the saltbush sea[00:01:55]
Tomorrow I'll be gone again[00:02:07]
Alone with my fully loaded train[00:02:10]
The farewells are behind me[00:02:16]
And it might be 12 months 'ere I call again[00:02:19]
But there's a bond that ties me[00:02:25]
To the people of beyond the saltbush sea[00:02:28]
It's the bond of the outback[00:02:34]
With makes them like a family to me[00:02:37]
I've got no family of my own[00:02:43]
This old drivers always been[00:02:48]
A rolling stone[00:02:52]
But there's always someone waiting[00:02:56]
Waiting there beyond the saltbush sea[00:02:59]
Oh no matter how long I've been gone[00:03:05]
They've always got the Billy on[00:03:08]
Waiting like a family for me[00:03:11]
Waiting like a family for me[00:03:17]
