Left my home long ago
To travel up the Tanami road
So many young fellas were like me
Head full of ideas and pretty keen
I didnt think that anyone would
Remember me for very long
Lifetime friends are with you till the end
Theyre the ones that know you the best
You laugh about how you were so young and proud
You do that when youve made a lifetime friend
Somehow through the years
Some people that you meet stay near
And even if youre far away
They ring up just to say
Well how are you goin
When you comin back this way
I got a call from you this afternoon
Its been years since I spoke to you
We might have had our blues in the past
But somehow our friendship seems to last
We pick up the conversation
Like we just left it yesterday
Pretty good hey
