Down The Dusty Road To Home (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty/Joy McKean

Oh come let us wander

Down the old bush track we'll go

Through the sandhills and the mulga

Where the old man saltbush grows

No more we plan to follow

The life of a rolling stone

So we'll hit the road out yonder

Down the dusty road to home

Around the campfire yarning

'Neath the twinkling stars above

We'll wend our way together

Back to the land we love

As we gaze into the distance

And feel we're not alone

This helps us face the hardships

Down the dusty road to home

We're finished with the town life

And the traffic's constant roar

So now we'll head out westward

And we'll settledown once more

Out along that old brown river

Where the 'roo and emu roam

And the tall gums bid us welcome

Down the dusty road to home

To see again those storm clouds

Gather from the western sky

And break across the desert

As it quickly passes by

A distant swirling dust haze

Where a mob of cattle roam

They beckon us to wander

Down the dusty road to home

Our hearts are in this country

Where droughts strikes hard and fast

Where the spirit of it's people

Always hangs on to the last

We see the heat wave rising

Out across the golden loam

No more we'll need to wander

Down the dusty road to home

So come let us wander

Down the old bush track we'll go

Through the sand hills and the mulga

Where the old man saltbush grows

No more we plan to follow

The life of a rolling stone

So we hit the road out yonder

Down the dusty road to home
