Slim Dusty I've Been There (and Back Again)
I've been there and back again while you've been
thinkin' about it
I've had all there was to have and I've had to do
without it
I've had sunshine, I've had rain, I've known pleasure
I've known pain
I've been there and back again
Life's not easy on the road, sometimes carry a heavy
load
And no one wants to know you
Can't help thinkin' now and then, better go back home
again
But brother mind don't ever let it throw you
Take a look at where you're at, home is where you hang
your hat
And you're the only one who tells you what to do
Hey!
I've been there and back again while you've been
thinkin' about it
I've had all there was to have and I've had to do
without it
I've had sunshine, I've had rain, I've known pleasure
I've known pain
I've been there and back again
Rode on trains and trucks before, had to walk till my
feet were sore
Gave me time to really look about
Sang my songs just anywhere, stayed of there was room
to spare
And overstayed my welcome sometimes I've no doubt
Had it easy done it hard, seen a lot of life's backyard
Made mistakes I know but that's all in the game
I have to smile as I look back, I hear 'em say "oh its
tough on the track"
Maybe so but I know I'd do it all again
Here we go now!
I've been there and back again while you've been
thinkin' about it
I've had all there was to have and I've had to do
without it
I've had sunshine, I've had rain, I've known pleasure
I've known pain
I've been there and back again
Yes I've been there
