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
