Intro

  She cooks him ham and ho'cakes

  at five thirty every morn

  and she does the dishes

  and she irons his uniform

  And she thinks she might have loved him once,

  but that was so long ago

  and the rain pours down like a holy waterfall

  over the Gulf of Mexico

  The boardwalk's deserted

  and the beach is all closed down

  and the middle school punk rockers

  ride their skateboards through the town

  And she looks back and she daydreams

  about paintin' people she's never seen

  just to keep from bein' blue

  and she gets home about a quarter 'till four

  and she drives her brother to the liquor store

  on Ocean Avenue

  And I'm parked on the stateline

  on this cold November day

  and pretty soon I'll be a drivin' fool

  somewhere down this lost highway

  and I here a voice from my soul's core

  sayin' freedom's just a metaphor

  you got nowhere to go

  and the rain pours down like a holy waterfall

  over the Gulf of Mexico

  over the Gulf of Mexico

  over the Gulf of Mexico

That's about it.

git er done!
