Corpus Christi Bay by Robert Earl Keen


I worked the rigs from three to midnight

On the corpus Christi Bay

I'd get off and drink till daylight

Sleep the morning away

I had a plan to take my wages

Leave the rigs behind for good

But that life it is contagious

And it gets down in your blood

 

I lived in corpus with my brother

We were always on the run

We were bad for one another

But we were good at having fun

We got stoned along the seawall

We got drunkand rolled a car

We knew the girls at every dancehall

Had a tab at every bar

If I could live my life all over

It wouldnt matter anyway

Cause I never could stay sober

On the Corpus Christi Bay

 

My brother had a wife and family

You know he gave them a good home

But his wife thought we were crazy

And one day we found her gone

We threw her clothes into the car trunk

Her photographs her rosary

We went to the pier and got drunk

And threw it all into the sea

 

CHORUS

 

Now my brother lives in Houston

He married for the secound time

He got a job with the union

And its keeping him in line

He came to Corpus just this weekend

It was good to see him here

He said he finally gave up drinking

The he ordered me a beer

 

CHORUS X 2
