[00:00.18]Still The Way I Feel - Slim Dusty
[00:01.8]Written by：Raymond Rose
[00:09.46]Just a saddle for my pillow
[00:12.24]And a blanket for my bed
[00:15.18]A swagwrap underneath me
[00:18.0]And a place to lay my head
[00:20.83]With the bright stars up above me
[00:23.76]And the night sounds all around
[00:26.52]Hear the tinkle of the horse bells
[00:29.56]Just before they're bedded down
[00:33.74]Life then was pretty simple
[00:36.56]And my needs were very few
[00:39.34]Just a good horse underneath me
[00:42.21]And the old friends I once knew
[00:45.17]Though my clothes were worn and dusty
[00:47.9]And my boots down at the heel
[00:50.72]I was always proud of what I was
[00:53.87]And it's still the way I feel
[00:58.12]Down a stock route in the cold and rain
[01:01.0]The heat the dust and sand
[01:03.72]Those old drovers don't exist no more
[01:06.7]And it's hard to understand
[01:09.37]Hear the heavy roar of diesels
[01:12.229996]Of the road trains where we rode
[01:15.020004]There's no stock route where it used to be
[01:17.979996]Just a winding blacktop road hey
[01:40.93]The stories those old timers told
[01:43.89]In the campfires eerie glow
[01:46.47]Throwing shadows on their faces
[01:49.09]As they spoke in tones so low
[01:52.130005]Hear the howling of the dingoes
[01:54.84]And smell the gidgee after rain
[01:57.61]Oh I'd give a lot to see and hear
[02:00.83]Those old bush sounds again
[02:04.86]But I've left it all behind me
[02:07.8]Like a lot have done before
[02:10.61]Our way of life's not good enough
[02:13.49]In this age of needing more
[02:16.20999]But the trusting hand of friendship
[02:19.0]In the old days was so real
[02:21.81]I was always proud of what I was
[02:24.81]And it's still the way I feel yeah
[02:28.86]Life then was pretty simple
[02:31.8]And my needs were very few
[02:34.53]Just a good horse underneath me
[02:37.4]And the old friends I once knew
[02:40.28]Though my clothes were worn and dusty
[02:43.09]And my boots down at the heel
[02:45.99]I was always proud of what I was
[02:49.03]And it's still the way I feel
