We were both 18 the year that we met I was slighty older but not by much One look at you and I knew that was it And your voice sounded like an angel above
One look at me you thought I was odd Wearing those clothes in the Kimberley heat Blundstone boots, cowboy hat, flannelette And denim overcoat all the way down to my feet
When your sister asked me to join up with you You nearly fainted with shock but you hid it well what the hell are you doing? you shouted when I left I was singing all the way back to my hotel
Headed off from Broom Travelled through the Kimberley Derby, Fitzroy, a night in Halls Creek Wyndham, Kunnunrra, Darwin we stayed for a while Then we hit the coast near Townsville on the other side Christmas in Cairns didnt have nowhere to go Busking on the streets just to get a feed Being kept up all night by the lovers on the top bunk At a seedy backpackers called Rapture of the Deep
Now plenty has happened since those early days Met a lot of people, been a lot of places Many a night in friends and relatives beds And God bless the lot of you that put us up and fed us Played to crowds of thousands, played to one or two Played in festivals and pubs, loved and hated what we do but looking back now I wouldnt trade but one of the memories weve made in the last eight years and though there were times we didnt get along I can honesty say I love the both of you
Now you're living in Sydney in some dingy room In a house full of strangers on Ramsgate avenue Paying twice as much as what the damn things worth Working in the daytime just to make it though You got your arms to your elbows in the sink at some Place cleaning pots and pans, cups and saucers, Knives and forks and plates Its a far cry, from the life that we knew Travelling around the country in a campervan Playing songs, singing with your sister and you Its too late to go back there again
