Lyrics:

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 didn't think anyone would remember me for very long
Well, lifetime friends are with you till the end
They're the ones that know you the best
You can laugh about how you were so young and proud
You do that when you've made a lifetime friend
But somehow through the years
Some people that you meet stay near
And even if you're far, far away
They'll ring you up just to say
'Well, how are you goin'?
When you comin' back this way?'
And I said
That lifetime friends are with you till the end
They're the ones that know you the best
You can laugh about how you were so young and proud
You do that when you've made a lifetime friend, yeah

I got a call from you this afternoon
It's been years since I spoke to you
We might of 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
Lifetime friends are with you till the end
They're the ones that know you the best
You can laugh about how you were so young and proud
You do that when you've made a lifetime friend
Well, lifetime friends are with you till the end
They're the ones that know you the best, I guess
That you can laugh about how you were so young and proud
You do that when you've made a lifetime friend
Yeah, you do that when you've made a lifetime friend
