Slim Dusty - Walk A Country Mile lyrics

Well I've walked a mile or two-oo in my lifetime And I've travelled down some muddy tracks and dry 'Cause if I wanted to get where I was go-oin' I knew I'd just have to walk that country mile Now a country mile would be the longest distance A man could ever travel when he's down And you curse the never ending road before you When you think you'll never make it into town But you meet a friend or two along the highway And you'll learn a lot you never knew before And if the journey takes a lifetime When you thought a year or two Well you just don't give up easy anymore And I've walked a mile or two-oo in my lifetime And I've travelled down some muddy tracks and dry 'Cause if I wanted to get where I was go-oin' I knew I'd just have to walk that country mile Walkin' that long mile has shown me changes Changes in the people and the land But I'll bet the road to Marble Bar's no better Than when I drove with trucks and caravans And a country bloke is still the same old battler No matter what the place he's workin' in And although I've covered many miles I still can't wait to see What the next long country mile will bring Well I've walked a mile or two-oo in my lifetime And I've travelled down some muddy tracks and dry 'Cause if I wanted to get where I was go-oin' I knew I'd just have to walk that country mile Yes I knew I'd have to walk that country mile
