lyrics

She always liked drinking with the boys in the barn
Half a mile from the Great Bay Boulevard
They could smoke, they could drink, they could listen to “Music from Big Pink”
It was there I got my courage by the water and the reeds
I made promises I could never keep,
Thought I’d never keep

The last time I stayed up
Just to watch the sun
Rising from the dark
(We’ll never be young again)

She loved Van Morrison and the Steve Miller Band
She tasted of wine and weed, cigarettes from the five and ten
She couldn’t bear the thought of him rising up again,
Rising up again

We borrowed a boat from a friend of mine
deep-Atlantic bound on some borrowed time
We laid the burden down in the water and prayed he Drifted down
Soon enough she left for Abilene or some other Texas town, some other Texas town
