[00:00:00] Like A Family To Me - Slim Dusty

[00:00:01] Written by：Ernie Constance

[00:00:02] Well the best is all behind you

[00:00:05] By the time you reach my age in years

[00:00:11] And the only luxuries you know

[00:00:15] Are a T bone steak and a round or two of beer

[00:00:20] And the roads you know are the distant tracks

[00:00:24] And the bulldust and

[00:00:25] The never ending spaces

[00:00:30] And the only family you know

[00:00:33] Is the smiling friendly outback peoples faces

[00:00:39] I've got no family of my own

[00:00:44] This old drivers always been

[00:00:49] A rolling stone

[00:00:52] But there's always someone waiting

[00:00:56] Waiting there beyond the saltbush sea

[00:01:02] No matter how long I've been gone

[00:01:05] They've always got the Billy on

[00:01:08] Waiting like a family for me

[00:01:26] There's always someone waiting

[00:01:28] On a lonely isolated cattle run

[00:01:35] Sitting on the stockyard rails

[00:01:38] To roll a smoke and watch the setting sun

[00:01:43] And we'll shake hands and we'll swap news

[00:01:46] Boil the Billy on the coals for tea

[00:01:52] By first light I'll be loaded up

[00:01:55] Sail again across the saltbush sea

[00:02:07] Tomorrow I'll be gone again

[00:02:10] Alone with my fully loaded train

[00:02:16] The farewells are behind me

[00:02:19] And it might be 12 months 'ere I call again

[00:02:25] But there's a bond that ties me

[00:02:28] To the people of beyond the saltbush sea

[00:02:34] It's the bond of the outback

[00:02:37] With makes them like a family to me

[00:02:43] I've got no family of my own

[00:02:48] This old drivers always been

[00:02:52] A rolling stone

[00:02:56] But there's always someone waiting

[00:02:59] Waiting there beyond the saltbush sea

[00:03:05] Oh no matter how long I've been gone

[00:03:08] They've always got the Billy on

[00:03:11] Waiting like a family for me

[00:03:17] Waiting like a family for me
