Well, I've walked a mile or two in my lifetime And I've travelled down some muddy tracks and dryCos if I wanted to get where I was going I knew I'd just have to walk that country mileNow a country mile would be the longest distance A man could ever travel when he's downAnd you curse the never-ending road before you When you think you'll never make it into townBut you meet a friend or two along the highway And you learn a lot you never knew beforeAnd if the journey takes a lifetime When you've thought a year or twoWell, you just don't give up easy anymoreAnd I've walked a mile or two in my lifetime And I've travelled down some muddy tracks and dryCos if I wanted to get where I was going I knew I'd just have to walk that country mileI've walked that long mile, I've fought my battles and fought good timesWalkin' that long mile has shown me changes Changes in the people and the landBut I'll bet the road to Marble Bars no better Than when I drove with trucks and caravansAnd...The country bloke is still the same old battler, no matter what the place he's working in. And although I've covered many miles, I still can't wait to see what the next long country mile will bring.Well, I've walked a mile or two in my lifetime, and I've travelled down some muddy tracks and dry, as if I wanted to get where I was going.And I knew I'd just have to walk that country mile, yes, I knew I'd have to walk that country mile.© transcript Emily Beynon
