Still The Way I Feel 歌詞
Still The Way I Feel - Slim Dusty
Written by：Raymond Rose
Just a saddle for my pillow
And a blanket for my bed
A swagwrap underneath me
And a place to lay my head
With the bright stars up above me
And the night sounds all around
Hear the tinkle of the horse bells
Just before they're bedded down
Life then was pretty simple
And my needs were very few
Just a good horse underneath me
And the old friends I once knew
Though my clothes were worn and dusty
And my boots down at the heel
I was always proud of what I was
And it's still the way I feel
Down a stock route in the cold and rain
The heat the dust and sand
Those old drovers don't exist no more
And it's hard to understand
Hear the heavy roar of diesels
Of the road trains where we rode
There's no stock route where it used to be
Just a winding blacktop road hey
The stories those old timers told
In the campfires eerie glow
Throwing shadows on their faces
As they spoke in tones so low
Hear the howling of the dingoes
And smell the gidgee after rain
Oh I'd give a lot to see and hear
Those old bush sounds again
But I've left it all behind me
Like a lot have done before
Our way of life's not good enough
In this age of needing more
But the trusting hand of friendship
In the old days was so real
I was always proud of what I was
And it's still the way I feel yeah
Life then was pretty simple
And my needs were very few
Just a good horse underneath me
And the old friends I once knew
Though my clothes were worn and dusty
And my boots down at the heel
I was always proud of what I was
And it's still the way I feel
