Verse 1
G
Well, over the years of my lifetime
C
I've covered the breadth of this land
D
Em
From the shores of the shimmering oceans
A
D
To deserts of saltbush and sand
G
And people will often ask me,
C
isn't it time for a rest?
Well, the road is my home

Well, I started out as a young man
C
with just a guitar and a song
D

I sang of the bush and its hardships

The home of the brave and the strong

And I played in the halls and the sideshows

I played to the folk way out west
For the road is my home

Well, time brought a woman to love me
C
I soon had a family in tow
D

We travelled the plains of the outback
A
A travelling musical show

And we weathered the hard
and the lean times
C
Together as onward we pressed
For the road is my home

and it's all that I've known

And I'm still here to give it my be st
So give me the flies and the red dust

And I'll sing my old songs
and say thank you
C
to all who have made me their guest
For the road is my home

And I'm still here to give it my best

and it's all that I've known

Thank you very much indeed
We'd like to call
on a couple of people now
that have been singing a
long time.
They've been singing professionally
long before I started,
so that's a hell of a long time.
That really dates them,
doesn't it? Yeah.
But anyway,
they've had radio programs
and they've been travelling all around the country all their lives. So they've
developed a very special type of yodelling.
It's called harmony yodelling.
So let's give a big hand now
to the great talents
of the fabulous McKean Sisters.
Here they are right now.
