Parker McCollum - Galveston Bay lyrics

Well you can't stop the ocean
And you can't stop the wind
They're here then they're gone
They don't come back again
One will keep you rollin'
One will blow you away
Left me standin' all alone
Next to Galveston Bay
Well a ramblin' gal since you were young
One big ball of yarn that
Was too tightly spun
When you came unraveled girl you
Really got strung out
And if you ever wind back up
Well that's somethin' I doubt

Oh Galveston Bay looks pretty at night
The water dancin' in the drilling rig lights
And I'll stand here next to
The wind and the waves
Right where you left me next to Galveston Bay

Well the soldiers are marchin'
Off to the war and we ain't won it yet
But we'll come back for more
And as I watch the battleships sailing away
From right where you left me
Next to Galveston Bay
Well the clock just keeps tickin'
Time goes by so fast
As the barges keep steamin'
Down the San Louis pass
Under the black smoke the engines they roar
And I'm right where you left me
Right next to the shore

Oh Galveston Bay looks pretty at night
The water dancin' in the drilling rig lights
And I'll stand here next to
The wind and the waves
Right where you left me next to Galveston Bay

Where the good times went man
I ain't got a clue you took my red heart and
Turned it lavender blue
Say you ain't goin' nowhere
Thinkin' bout the past
And I say the good times are
The ones that don't last
Well the ocean breathes salty and
The wind it blows hard
And I hope that you're happy
Where ever you are and if you ever decide
To head back my way
I'll be right where you left
Me next to Galveston Bay

Oh Galveston Bay looks pretty at night
The water dancin' in the drilling rig lights
And I'll stand here next to
The wind and the waves
Right where you left me next to Galveston Bay
Right where you left next to Galveston Bay
