Galveston Bay Parker McCollum

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
