Michael Martin Murphey - Campfire on the Road lyrics

[Verse 1] Camping under the leopardwood As the sun goes down and the fire's good And I've managed to find myself some briggle [?] And it wouldn't be the same i know Contemplating the fire glow Without my darling out here on the road Now it's a very special thing To hear the little cricket sing There's no need to say another word Just watch the campfire steal the show Let the inner feelings flow Release the tension out here on the road [Chorus] We must never let them take this life away Old stock routes belong to one and all Drovers, dreamers all agree Poets have origin heres have a right to light a campfire on the road [Verse 2] Some people like a riverbed With river guns high overhead Unroll the swag on a driving riverside But me i search for different sites Not afraid of mid men lights I welcome spirits out here on the road And i welcome any sites i see And it's been so good to me That leads me to the souls of any man And i can tell you there are days I see the Earth in different ways It keeps me searching out here on the road [Chorus] We must never let them take this life away Old stock routes belong to one and all Drovers, dreamers all agree Poets have origin heres have a right to light a campfire on the road We must never let them take this life away Old stock routes belong to one and all Drovers, dreamers all agree Poets have origin heres have a right to light a campfire on the road [Bridge] Camping under the leopardwood As the sun goes down and the fire's good And i've managed to find myself some briggle [?] And it wouldn't be the same i know Contemplating the fire glow Without my darling out here on the road [Chorus] We must never let them take this life away Old stock routes belong to one and all Drovers, dreamers all agree Poets have origin heres have a right to light a campfire on the road We have a right to light a campfire on the road
