Corpus Christi Bay (科珀斯克里斯蒂湾) - Todd Snider[00:00:00]
I worked the rigs from three till midnight[00:00:06]
On the corpus christi bay[00:00:10]
I get off and drink till daylight[00:00:14]
Sleep the mornin' away[00:00:18]
I had a plan to take my wages[00:00:22]
Leave the rigs behind for good[00:00:26]
But that life it is contagious[00:00:30]
And it gets down in your blood[00:00:34]
I lived in corpus with my brother[00:00:38]
We were always on the run[00:00:42]
We were bad for one another[00:00:45]
But we were good at having fun[00:00:49]
We got stoned along the seawall[00:00:53]
We got drunk and rolled a car[00:00:57]
We knew the girls at every dance hall[00:01:01]
Had a tab at every bar[00:01:05]
If I could live my life all over[00:01:09]
It wouldn't matter anyway[00:01:13]
I never could stay sober[00:01:17]
Down on the corpus christi bay[00:01:21]
My brother had a wife and family[00:01:28]
You know he gave me both a home[00:01:32]
But his wife thought we were crazy[00:01:36]
And one day we found her gone[00:01:40]
We threw here clothes into the car trunk[00:01:44]
Her photographs her rosary[00:01:48]
Went down to the pier and got drunk[00:01:52]
And threw it all into the sea[00:01:56]
If I could live my life all over[00:02:00]
It wouldn't matter anyway[00:02:04]
I never could stay sober[00:02:08]
On the corpus christi bay[00:02:12]
Now my brother lives in houston[00:02:19]
He married for the second time[00:02:24]
He got a job with the union[00:02:28]
It's keeping him in line[00:02:32]
He came to corpus just this weekend[00:02:35]
It was good to see him here[00:02:39]
He said he finally gave up drinkin'[00:02:43]
Then he ordered me a beer[00:02:47]
If I could live my life all over[00:02:51]
It wouldn't matter anyway[00:02:55]
I never could stay so over[00:02:59]
Down on the corpus christi bay[00:03:03]
If I could live my life all over[00:03:07]
It wouldn't matter anyway[00:03:11]
I never could stay so over[00:03:15]
