I worked the rigs from three to midnight
On the Corpus Christi Bay
We'd get off and drink till daylight
And sleep the morning away
I had a plan to take my wages
And 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
And we was always on the run
We were bad for one another
But we were good at having fun
We'd get stoned along the seawall
We got drunk and crashed the car
We knew the girls at every dance hall
We had a tab at every bar
If I could live my life all over
It wouldn't matter anyway
'Cause I never could stay sober
On Corpus Christi Bay
My brother had a wife and family
You know, he gave 'em a good home
But his wife thought we were crazy
And one day, we found her gone
We threw her clothes into the car trunk
Her photographs, her rosary
We went to the pier and got drunk
And threw it all into the sea
On the Corpus Christi Bay
We'd get off and drink till daylight
And sleep the morning away
I had a plan to take my wages
And 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
And we was always on the run
We were bad for one another
But we were good at having fun
We'd get stoned along the seawall
We got drunk and crashed the car
We knew the girls at every dance hall
We had a tab at every bar
If I could live my life all over
It wouldn't matter anyway
'Cause I never could stay sober
On Corpus Christi Bay
My brother had a wife and family
You know, he gave 'em a good home
But his wife thought we were crazy
And one day, we found her gone
We threw her clothes into the car trunk
Her photographs, her rosary
We went to the pier and got drunk
And threw it all into the sea
