I work the rigs from three to midnight on the Corpus [G] Christi bed.
I get off and drink [D] till daylight, sleep the morning [A] right away.
I had a plan to [D] take some wages, leave the rigs [G] behind for good.
But that life, it is [D]
contagious, [A] and it gets [D] down in your blood.
I lived in Corpus with my brother, we were always [G] on the run.
We were mad for [D] one another, but we were good at [A] having fun.
[D] [A] We got [C#] stoned [D] out on the seawall, we got drunk and [G] rolled a car.
Knew the girls at [D] every dance hall, [A] and at every tab in [D] every bar.
If I could live my [A] life all over, [G] it wouldn't matter [D] anyway.
Cause I never could [G] stay sober [A] on the Corpus [D] Christi bed.
My brother had a wife and family, you know he gave them a [G] good home.
But his wife thought [D] we were crazy, and one day we [A] found them gone.
We threw her clothes into [D] the car trunk, her photographs, her [G] rosary.
We went out to the [D] fair and got drunk, [A] and blew her stuff into [D] the sea.
If I could [F#m] live my life [A] all over, [G] it wouldn't matter [D] anyway.
Cause I never could [G] stay sober [A] on the Corpus [D] Christi bed.
