Thinking of Dusty Singing Along With Slim

Thinking of Dusty and Singing with Slim By Kevin Fairbrother, 17th of August 2013 As I travel the roads on the great outback My mind takes the pictures of what I see I wave to the travelers that wave to me And I listen to Slim on my country CD My mind wanders back to the Gulf travels I’ve been In Company with Dusty, the girl of my dreams We would laugh and joke, have a beer or two Round the campfire, beneath the blazing moon The family stories would come to light Each hoping that one, would break the ice For love was in the air, it was on my mind Dusty sensed this, and said goodnight AS I lay in my swag by the fire glow My mind raced of ways that I could let Dusty know Of how I felt, what I could say and what I could do As I need to tell her in my own special way Like the song of lost love in Camooweal I’ve missed the chance to tell Dusty my story For I’m left with heartache and feeling despair For Dusty had gone and I know not where So I travel on thinking of Dusty and singing with Slim As he tells his stories of life in the great outback For the words in his songs, they ring so true That life in the bush is not for city people But Dusty and Slim will forever be with me Inspiring me to look forward and not back For the long road ahead, I know not what it brings But I will be thinking of Dusty and singing with Slim
