West Palm Beach |
| I can’t get the sand out of my shoes |
| This being in Florida’s done a number on my blues |
| Just the way the women walk round here |
| Its plain to see the way the sand and the sea have done a number on me |
| And the sky is threatening black and gray and the sun is a festering red |
| And her head is claiming her stats; |
| she ain’t yet risen from bed |
| So breakfast again delayed, postponed, I won’t be fed |
| The surf has swallowed him up, he’s a memory now |
| And the water’s warmer than it has been in weeks |
| Grandma lives just down the road, she’s making supper for me tonight |
| She’s been nice to me since '73 when her sun lost his lights |
| And now his ghost is a rising host above the briny blur |
| I would that soon some maid would swoon and his soul would capture her |
| He’s still a fine kid, what with all that he did, he’s a fan of mine |
| I wasn’t planning to spend so long in town |
| But the break in the weather has got the partner down |
| She won’t get out, she’s shotgun, seems she’s sewn to the seat |
| It’s a dirty old trick that I’ve yet to lick and she’s yet to beat |
| You can see it in her eyes, she was born unwise, she was born for me |
| If she mourns too long I’ll know something’s wrong and I’ll leave her be |
| You can tell by his shoes he was born to lose, he was born for me |
