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 |
