《Corpus Christi Bay》歌词

[00:00:00] Corpus Christi Bay (科珀斯克里斯蒂湾) - Todd Snider

[00:00:06] I worked the rigs from three till midnight

[00:00:10] On the corpus christi bay

[00:00:14] I get off and drink till daylight

[00:00:18] Sleep the mornin' away

[00:00:22] I had a plan to take my wages

[00:00:26] Leave the rigs behind for good

[00:00:30] But that life it is contagious

[00:00:34] And it gets down in your blood

[00:00:38] I lived in corpus with my brother

[00:00:42] We were always on the run

[00:00:45] We were bad for one another

[00:00:49] But we were good at having fun

[00:00:53] We got stoned along the seawall

[00:00:57] We got drunk and rolled a car

[00:01:01] We knew the girls at every dance hall

[00:01:05] Had a tab at every bar

[00:01:09] If I could live my life all over

[00:01:13] It wouldn't matter anyway

[00:01:17] I never could stay sober

[00:01:21] Down on the corpus christi bay

[00:01:28] My brother had a wife and family

[00:01:32] You know he gave me both a home

[00:01:36] But his wife thought we were crazy

[00:01:40] And one day we found her gone

[00:01:44] We threw here clothes into the car trunk

[00:01:48] Her photographs her rosary

[00:01:52] Went down to the pier and got drunk

[00:01:56] And threw it all into the sea

[00:02:00] If I could live my life all over

[00:02:04] It wouldn't matter anyway

[00:02:08] I never could stay sober

[00:02:12] On the corpus christi bay

[00:02:19] Now my brother lives in houston

[00:02:24] He married for the second time

[00:02:28] He got a job with the union

[00:02:32] It's keeping him in line

[00:02:35] He came to corpus just this weekend

[00:02:39] It was good to see him here

[00:02:43] He said he finally gave up drinkin'

[00:02:47] Then he ordered me a beer

[00:02:51] If I could live my life all over

[00:02:55] It wouldn't matter anyway

[00:02:59] I never could stay so over

[00:03:03] Down on the corpus christi bay

[00:03:07] If I could live my life all over

[00:03:11] It wouldn't matter anyway

[00:03:15] I never could stay so over
