Walk a Country Mile

Well, I've walked a mile or two in my lifetime

And I've travelled down some muddy tracks and dry

'Cause if I wanted to get where I was goin'

I knew I'd just have to walk that country mile

Now a country mile would be the longest distance

A man could ever travel when he's down

And you curse the never-ending road before you

When you think you'll never make it into town

But you meet a friend or two along the highway

And you'll learn a lot you never knew before

And if the journey takes a lifetime when you thought a year or two

Well, you just don't give up easy anymore

And I've walked a mile or two in my lifetime

And I've travelled down some muddy tracks and dry

'Cause if I wanted to get where I was goin'

I knew I'd just have to walk that country mile, hey

Walkin' that long mile has shown me changes

Changes in the people and the land

But I'll bet the road to Marble Bar's no better

Then when we drove with trucks and caravans

And a country bloke is still the same old battler

No matter what the place he's workin' in

And although I've covered many miles, I still can't wait to see

What the next long country mile will bring

And I've walked a mile or two in my lifetime

And I've travelled down some muddy tracks and dry

'Cause if I wanted to get where I was goin'

I knew I'd just have to walk that country mile

Yeah, I've walked a mile or two in my lifetime

And I've travelled down some muddy tracks and dry

'Cause if I wanted to get where I was goin'

I knew I'd just have to walk that country mile

Yes, I knew I'd just have to walk that country mile, hey
