Waves of Galveston Iron & Wine

[00:06.22] Leave the waves of Galveston but only if you can
[00:11.38] Cause you've been hid behind the seawall, gently folded in the sand
[00:18.89] Papa left you for Heaven after your Mama lost her song
[00:23.60] And though your baby left you for
[00:26.23] Houston, no one stays there very long
[00:42.76] There's a graveyard by the pizza parlor, a gate that only closes
[00:48.26] Snowbirds fly away like secrets no one really wants to know
[00:55.39] The climbing moon's always shining on the kind of shells you keep
[01:00.52] The broken horse tied to the water tower's running in his sleep
[01:09.68] It's too bad that you ain't got a soft place to fall
[01:22.18] It's too bad Texas leans to the least of us all
[01:33.86] And says, "If you can make the music then you can have the dance
[01:41.73] If you can shoot the pistol then you can wear the pants"
[02:10.83] So leave the waves of Galveston but only if you can
[02:16.14] Cause it's the only place the Lone Star kind have offered you a hand
[02:23.28] Your baby left you nothing but a dog she left for dead
[02:28.35] You never knew you were a burden til it hit you on the head
[02:37.69] It's too bad that you ain't got a soft place to fall
[02:49.78] It's too bad Texas leans to the least in us all
[03:01.74] And says, "If you can make the music then you can have the dance
[03:09.07] If you can shoot the pistol then you can wear the pants"
[03:18.40]
