Corpus Christi Bay |
| I worked the rigs from three to midnight |
| On the corpus Christi Bay |
| I’d get off and drink till daylight |
| Sleep the morning away |
| I had a plan to take my wages |
| Leave the rigs behind for good |
| But that life it is contagious |
| And it gets down in your blood |
| I lived in corpus with my brother |
| We were always on the run |
| We were bad for one another |
| But we were good at having fun |
| We got stoned along the seawall |
| We got drunkand rolled a car |
| We knew the girls at every dancehall |
| Had a tab at every bar |
| If I could live my life all over |
| It wouldn’t matter anyway |
| 'Cause I never could stay sober |
| On the Corpus Christi Bay |
| My brother had a wife and family |
| You know he gave them a good home |
| But his wife thought we were crazy |
| And one day we found her gone |
| We threw her clothes into the car trunk |
| Her photographs her rosary |
| We went to the pier and got drunk |
| And threw it all into the sea |
| If I could live my life all over |
| It wouldn’t matter anyway |
| 'Cause I never could stay sober |
| On the Corpus Christi Bay |
| Now my brother lives in Houston |
| He married for the secound time |
| He got a job with the union |
| And its keeping him in line |
| He came to Corpus just this weekend |
| It was good to see him here |
| He said he finally gave up drinking |
| The he ordered me a beer |
| If I could live my life all over |
| It wouldn’t matter anyway |
| 'Cause I never could stay sober |
| On the Corpus Christi Bay |
| If I could live my life all over |
| It wouldn’t matter anyway |
| 'Cause I never could stay sober |
| On the Corpus Christi Bay |
