G C G
I worked the rigs from three Ttil midnight
G C
On the Corpus Christi Bay
C G
IUd get off and drink Ttil daylight
G D
Sleep the mornin away

I had a plan to take my wages
G C
Leave the rigs behind for good
C G D
But that life it is contagious
D G
And it gets down in your blood
G C G
I lived in Corpus with my brother
G C
We were always on the run
C G
We were bad for one another
G D
But we were good at having fun
D C G
We got stoned along the seawall
G C
We got drunk and rolled a car
C G D
We knew the girls at every dancehall
D G
Had a tab at every bar
Chorus:
G D C
If I could live my life all over
C G
It wouldnUt matter anyway
G C D
TCause I never could stay sober
D G
On the Corpus Christi Bay

You know he gave Tem a good home

But his wife thought we were crazy

Her photographs her rosary

And threw it all into the sea
