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
