galveston bay
Singer:mccollum, parker
and you can't stop the wind
they don't come back again
and one will keep you rollin'
left me standin' all alone
a ramblin' gal since you were young
that was too tightly spun
you really got strung out
and if you ever wind back up
galveston bay looks pretty at night
the water dancin' in the drillin' rig lights
and i'll stand here next to the wind and the waves
the soldiers are marchin' off to the war
but we'll come back for more
and as i watch the battleships sailing away
from right where you left me
the clock just keeps a'tickin'
as the barges keep steamin'
and under the black smoke
and i'm right where you left me
galveston bay looks pretty at night
the water dancin' in the drillin' rig lights
and i'll stand here next to the wind and the waves
where the good times went
and turned it lavender blue
say you ain't goin' nowhere
are the ones that don't last
and i hope that you're happy wherever you are
and if you ever decide to head back my way
i'll be right where you left me
galveston bay looks pretty at night
the water dancin' in the drillin' rig lights
and i'll stand here next to the wind and the waves
