I worked the rigs from three 'til midnight On the Corpus Christi Bay I'd get off and drink 'til daylight Sleep the mornin' away I had a plan to take my wages Leave the rigs behind for good But that life it is contagious And it gets down in your blood I lived in Corpus with my brother We were always on the run We were bad for one another But we were good at having fun We got stoned along the seawall We got drunk and rolled a car We knew the girls at every dancehall Had a tab at every bar If I could live my life all over It wouldn't matter anyway I never could stay sober On the Corpus Christi Bay My brother had a wife and family You know he gave 'em both a home But his wife thought we were crazy And one day we found her gone We threw here clothes into the car trunk Her photographs her rosary We went to the pier and got drunk And threw it all into the sea If I could live my life all over It wouldn't matter anyway I never could stay sober On the Corpus Christi Bay Now my brother lives in Houston He married for the second time He got a job with the union And it's keeping him in line He came to Corpus just this weekend It was good to see him here He said he finally gave up drinkin' Then he ordered me a beer If I could live my life all over It wouldn't matter anyway I never could stay sober On the Corpus Christi Bay
