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 that anyone would remember me for very long



Lifetime friends are with you 'till the end

They're the ones that know you the best

You laugh about how you were so young and proud

You do that when you've made a lifetime friend



Somehow through the years

Some people that you meet stay near

And even if you're far away

They ring you up just to say

Well how are you goin'

When you comin' back this way



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



Neither was my head

It must be intervention or it must be divine

Could be kindness week

Or it could be the wine



Now I pray that you will say yes tonight

'Cause I'm gonna ask if you will be mine
