South of the border, American dollars. Take you a long, long way. Beachside bungalows, sand between your toes. Nobody knows your name. . There's a worm at the bottom of a bottle.
Last night, downtown I was drinking the booze. Like it was going out if style. My whole head got light, I lost my eyesight. I ain't been that drunk in awhile.
There's a spirit of a storm in my soul. A restlessness that I can't seem to tame. Thunder and lightning follow everywhere I go. There's a spirit of a storm in my soul.
Well I was thinkin' 'bout parking the other night. We was out on a back road. Me and my lady was just gettin' right. All systems on overload. Radio blasting in the front seat.
If you're going out with someone new. I'm going out with someone too. I won't feel sorry for me, I'm getting drunk. But I'd much rather be somewhere with you.
He walked in with a salty sway. Lookin' like Blackbeard in his day. A brother in arms just like me. I was born a son of the sea. I can't be still, I can't be tied.
Stuck here at a Holiday Inn near Austin, Texas. Seen all the road that I want to see. God I hate the snow, they even cancelled the show. Makes me long for where I really want to be.
Somebody's callin callin' my little darlin'. Darlin' tonite. This time, Oh Lord, it ain't me. Instead a sittin' here bawlin' bawlin'. Oughta be a crawlin' back to make things right.
Well, I got a little girl and she's got a daddy. Who's got a lotta money and it makes me happy. To follow them around like a little whipped puppy dog.
Same ol' bedroom floor. Same ol' empty sheets. I hate this haunted bed. So down here's where I sleep. . Tryin' to find a place. To hide what you have left.
Honey, you think he's got an attitude. So you treat him just a little too rude. Buddy, you think she's a little too cold. So you act like a two year old.
His old man was a rebel yeller. Bad boy to the bone. He'd say, Can't trust a colored feller.. He'd judge them by the tone of their skin.. . He was raised to think like his dad.
City side walks, busy side walks. Dressed in holiday style. In the air there's a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing. People passing. Meeting smile after smile.
No I ain't had nothing to drink. I knew thats probably what you'd think. If I dropped by this time of night. Remember way back when. I promised you I'd drop in.
Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright. 'Round yon virgin, mother and child. Holy infant, so tender and mild. . Sleep in heavenly peace.
She's got every quality. From A all the way to Z. It's easy to see she's the perfect girl. . She's got every single thing. That makes up my wildest dreams.
She comes from Boston, works at the jewelry store. Down in the harbor, where the ferries come to shore. She never really knew how good it would feel. To finally find herself in a place so warm and real.
Sherry's living in paradise. Slinging drinks at a bar down by the beach. And you know she came here from LA.. Southern California could not hold her dreams.
If you see her down at a local bar. Showin' all the signs of a lonely heart. Don't you be concerned, there ain't nothin wrong. It's not her fault, she gets that way when I'm gone.
Not a day goes by that I don't tell her. How beautiful she is. How kind and caring, I'm always swearing she's the reason that I live. I make it a point to point out every good thing that she does.
