Long Black Road - Slim Dusty

歌曲：LONG BLACK ROAD
When I spend a week at home I just sit around and moan
It’s a cobweb that we call suburban load
Then I know it’s time to leave, I got freedom up my sleeve
And my mates are out there on the long black road
When the pressures of the town start to grind you down
And you feel your very soul set to explode
And the troubles and the strife that surrounds you in this life
You leave behind out on the long black road
You can have your city mansions swimming pools and gardens big
Australia is my playground and my mansion this old rig
It’s the kind of life we choose and become addicted to
Yeah lovin’ livin’ drivin’ this old rig
[Fiddle/ Pedal Steel Solo]
One week we’re in the north, and another way down south
From east to west they need an urgent load
Then you’re rollin’ once again cross the big old Nullarbor plain
It’s a lifetime rollin’ down the long black road
When the dust is flyin’ high out beneath the southern sky
It’s the best darn way of life you come across
And your home from home’s just fine this old black rig of mine
The rig they call the flyin’ southern cross
Yeah you can have your city mansions swimming pools and gardens big
Australia is my playground and my mansion this old rig
It’s the kind of life we choose and become addicted to, hey
Yeah lovin’ livin’ drivin’ this old rig
One week we’re in the north, and another way down south
From east to west they need an urgent load
Then you’re rollin’ once again cross the big old Nullarbor plain
It’s a lifetime rollin’ down the long black road
It’s a lifetime rollin’ down the long black road
Hey a lifetime rollin’ down the long black road
