2.I went out to Queensland working in the sheds
Met a girl in Quilpie and we got wed
Moved up to the Gulf had our first born
We were livin' in a caravan I was working on the prawns
I came home from a stormy sea
She'd up and gone left a note for me
On it she wrote "I'm sick of you"
That's when I felt there's good light in Broome
3.I headed down south couldn't take the hint
Saw a lot of pubs had a lot to drink
I was running pretty ragged I didn't hardly eat
I was thinking about her and what she did to me
There was a road and a hair-pin bend
Then I woke up in a hospital bed
"How do you feel?" said a voice in the gloom
I gave the answer "There's good light in Broome"
4.I went trucking out of Melbourne back and forwards to Perth
It didn't take long and it seemed like a curse
My eyes were on the road but my mind was somewhere else
When I pulled in to a Nullarbor roadhouse
Waitress came over and she's there looking at me
She asked me how I was I said "bit ordinary"
She said "I thought that might be your tune"
I said "don't tell me there's good light in Broome"
5.Well when I get to Cable Beach
I'll fall right out of the truck and into the sea
With my clothes still on I'll plunge under the waves
And all the dirt will drain away
And just like Bunjil I'll get two dogs
And every evening I'll walk them along
On the edge of the country take in the view
Just like I heard there's good light in Broome
