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
