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 |
