歌曲歌詞
Like A Family To Me - Slim Dusty
Written by：Ernie Constance
Well the best is all behind you
By the time you reach my age in years
And the only luxuries you know
Are a T bone steak and a round or two of beer
And the roads you know are the distant tracks
And the bulldust and
The never ending spaces
And the only family you know
Is the smiling friendly outback peoples faces
I've got no family of my own
This old drivers always been
A rolling stone
But there's always someone waiting
Waiting there beyond the saltbush sea
No matter how long I've been gone
They've always got the Billy on
Waiting like a family for me
There's always someone waiting
On a lonely isolated cattle run
Sitting on the stockyard rails
To roll a smoke and watch the setting sun
And we'll shake hands and we'll swap news
Boil the Billy on the coals for tea
By first light I'll be loaded up
Sail again across the saltbush sea
Tomorrow I'll be gone again
Alone with my fully loaded train
The farewells are behind me
And it might be 12 months 'ere I call again
But there's a bond that ties me
To the people of beyond the saltbush sea
It's the bond of the outback
With makes them like a family to me
I've got no family of my own
This old drivers always been
A rolling stone
But there's always someone waiting
Waiting there beyond the saltbush sea
Oh no matter how long I've been gone
They've always got the Billy on
Waiting like a family for me
Waiting like a family for me
