The Gulf of Mexico |
She cooks him ham and hocakes |
At 5: 30 in the morn |
She does the dishes |
And irons his uniforms |
And she thinks she might have loved |
Him once but that was long ago |
And the rain pours down |
Like a holy waterfall |
Over the gulf of mexico |
The boardwalk’s deserted |
And the beach is all closed down |
And the middle school punkrockers |
Ride their skateboards |
Through the town |
And she looks back and she daydreams |
About things and people she’s never |
Seen just to keep from being blue and |
She gets home about a quarter to four |
And drives her brother |
To the liquor store on ocean avenue |
And I’m parked on the state line on this |
Cold november day and pretty soon i’ll |
Be a drivin fool somewhere down this |
Lost highway |
Then I hear a voice from |
My soul’s core sayin «freedom's just a |
Metaphor, you got nowhere to go» |
And the rain pours down like a |
Holy waterfall over the gulf of mexico |
Over the gulf of mexico |
