It was Ansett 603 |
|
He sits down next to me |
|
We were flyin' out across the Great Divide |
|
Bound for WA |
|
He shook my hand and said g'day |
|
There I was, Slim Dusty by my side |
|
I was flyin' with the king |
|
Ridin' on the wind |
|
A small town boy from nowhere |
|
My head up in the clouds |
|
All the times I heard him play |
|
And here I was today |
|
I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king |
|
Was Trumby ridin' slow |
|
30, 000 feet below |
|
Way down there round a fire of gidgee coal |
|
The desert stretchin' on |
|
Home to countless Dusty songs |
|
He was the man who walked a country mile |
|
I was flyin' with the king |
|
Ridin' on the wind |
|
A small town boy from nowhere |
|
My head up in the clouds |
|
All the times I heard him play |
|
And here I was today |
|
I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king |
|
Before I knew the wheels touched down |
|
He smiled and said \"I'll see you round\" |
|
There was so much more to say but he was gone |
|
An' now he's gone, |
|
I was flyin' with the king |
|
Ridin' on the wind |
|
A small town boy from nowhere |
|
My head up in the clouds |
|
All the times I heard him play |
|
And here I was today |
|
I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king |
