Severance Pay |
| When I came to the Prince William Sound |
| The Glaciers were friends to me |
| Not one of them said I had to be home |
| Or I couldn’t have a drink |
| Sometime late in '63 |
| Appetites finally grew near |
| How to get kicked off a pipeline crew |
| Get too drunk to feel fear |
| Winter was coming anyway seeming to last an age |
| Lived off of my severance pay from the old pipeline days |
| Did just fine out in the snow -- Jack was just a little help |
| You think six months of darkness easy, you just try it yourself |
| Woke up in time that early spring |
| To turn on the evening news |
| Could only sit dumb as Cronkite said |
| «Look what’s gonna happen to you» |
| I was drunk when the shock wave hit |
| Said goodbye to Valdez |
| Nothing much there anyway |
| Just the pipeline and me |
| Earth shook earth shook |
| Never meant nothing to me |
| Never meant anything |
