"South Coast Of Texas Lyrics"

Older Lover Undercover Lyrics
Well an old saying goes mind your manners mind your mother And a man can find a lover who is tan and undercover Well she might lies abo


The south coast of Texas is a thin slice of life

It' s salty and hard it it stern as a knife

Where the wind is for blwon' up hurricanes for showin'

The snakes how to swim and the trees how to lean



Chorus

The
One Night Lyrics
You took all my money I gave you no name My love and my money Did you think i would chase it in the rain? My eyes are n
shrimpers and their ladies are out in the beer joints

Drinkin' em down for they sail with the dawn

They're bound for the Mexican Bay of Campche

And the deck hands are singin' adios Jole Blon



There's snowbirds in search of that sunshin
Ocean Lyrics
When the night will gather darkness And black clouds unadorned Only poets, dreams and madmen Will sail out into the storm
and night life

And fond of greasin' palms down the beach as they're goin'

This livin' on the edge of the waters of the world

Demands the dignity of whooping cranes and

The likes of Gilbert Roland



Chorus

Ballrooms of Mars Lyrics
You gonna look fine Be primed for dancing You're gonna trip and glide All on the trembling plane Your diamond hands
In the cars of my youth how I tore thru those sand dunes

Cut up my tires on them oyster shell roads

But nothin' is forever say the old men in the shipyards

Turnin' trees into shrimp oats Hell I guess they ought to know



Chorus
