Hurricane Brewing over the Gulf Blues

There’s a hurricane brewing out over the gulf
Again I’m wondering why I live out on the coast
I’m allergic to the sun and drunk from the rain
And when the barometer drops all my joints do ache

Maybe it’s because back in my younger days
My sister and I’d ‘cross town to the pier and skate
One time she brought her tiny fishing rod
I helped her catch a shark and she laughed and danced around

##

I met my first wife on a my friend’s boat
We’d each just broke up with someone else
I offered her a beer, she accepted it and smiled
Said, “Thanks I needed that--no one’s been sweet to me in a while”

I said, “Lady your standards have got to improve.”
And we got to know each other over the next three years
In a home we built in the California dunes
Far out on love on a hippy drug commune

But she dried-up in the desert from cancer in the sun
And left me whiskey wet for twenty-seven months
I’d resigned to lose myself that way
But my little sister came, brought me back to the beach to stay
