| [00:06.42] |
I worked the rigs from three 'til midnight |
| [00:10.53] |
On the Corpus |
| [00:11.49] |
Christi Bay |
| [00:14.43] |
I'd get off and drink 'til daylight |
| [00:18.39] |
Sleep the morning away |
| [00:22.05] |
I had a plan to take my wages |
| [00:26.22] |
Leave the rigs behind for good |
| [00:30.15] |
But that life, it is contagious |
| [00:34.05] |
And it gets down in your blood |
| [00:37.71] |
I lived in |
| [00:38.52] |
Corpus with my brother |
| [00:41.94] |
Who's always on the run |
| [00:45.78] |
We're bad for one another |
| [00:49.53] |
But we were good at having fun |
| [00:53.43] |
We got stoned along the seawall |
| [00:56.13] |
We got drunk and rolled a car |
| [01:01.20] |
We knew the girls in every dance hall |
| [01:05.31] |
Had a tab in every bar |
| [01:09.33] |
If I could live my life all over |
| [01:11.55] |
It wouldn't matter anyway |
| [01:17.37] |
I never could stay sober |
| [01:20.70] |
Down on that |
| [01:21.48] |
Corpus Christi |
| [01:22.44] |
BayMy brother had a wife and family |
| [01:32.52] |
You know he gave 'em both a home |
| [01:36.60] |
But his wife thought we were crazy |
| [01:40.71] |
And one day we found her gone |
| [01:44.19] |
We threw her clothes into the car trunk |
| [01:48.33] |
Her photographs, her rosary |
| [01:52.29] |
Went down to the pier and got drunk |
| [01:56.25] |
Threw it all into the sea |
| [02:00.42] |
If I could live my life all over |
| [02:04.23] |
It wouldn't matter anyway' |
| [02:06.15] |
Cause I never could stay sober |
| [02:11.79] |
Down on that |
| [02:12.54] |
Corpus Christi |

| [02:35.49] |
He came to |

Corpus just this weekend |
| [02:39.78] |
It was good to see him here |
| [02:43.44] |
He said he finally gave up drinking |
| [02:48.24] |
He ordered me a beer |
| [02:51.57] |
If I could live my life all over |
| [02:55.50] |
It wouldn't matter anyway |
| [02:59.67] |
