Slim Dusty - Just Going Home lyrics

rate me

This story I must tell you, is old and very true,

And when it comes around your door, it always seems so new,

I've had my share of hardships and success while on the road,

Now the year has ended once again an' I'm just going home.

Ten long months on the road of song I'm saddle weary now,

Gonna brush the cobwebs from my eyes and the wrinkles from my brow,

Cant stay to talk, must be on my way and leave your town alone,

Oh it's very important, now you know, 'cos I'm just going home.

I've never seen the sky so blue, the sun is warm and bright,

I'm friends with everyone I see, my world is spinnin right,

I'm travelin' down to homeward, that friendly peaceful zone,

This world can go on rushing by, I'm just going home.

Ten long months on the road of song I'm saddle weary now,

Gonna brush the cobwebs from my eyes and the wrinkles from my brow,

Cant stay to talk, must be on my way and leave your town alone,

Oh it's very important now you know, 'cos I'm just going home.

Let me lazy round the barbeque at the closing of the day,

And see that big moon rising high across old Bancroft Bay,

And hear the bellbirds calling their friendly tinkling tone,

It's my paradise and I know Im right an' I'm just going home.

Ten long months on the road of song I'm saddle weary now

Gonna brush the cobwebs from my eyes and the wrinkles from my brow,

Cant stay to talk, must be on my way and leave your town alone,

Oh it's very important now you know, 'cos I'm just going home.

Yes I'm Just going home.
