Tannin Bed Song

(アルバム： Soul's Core - 1998)

Maria lays in the tannin bed
And reads the Tuesday news
Shes down there every week at the
Same time with the same old blues
She reads the funny papers
And then the classifieds
And if she ain't too sleepy there's the
Weather report on the flipside
And this Kansas life is a hard one
For a girl from Miami
You're just starin out at the oil fields
And that's all that I can see
Her old mans in the same place
Since the company let him go
Just sippin the pabst blue ribbon and
Cussin amoco
Maria drives home
From the tannin bed
And the black clouds
Roll across the sky
She pulls into the trailor park pops the
Trunk and calls the kids outside
Said there's a twister commin
And you haven't got a clue
I ain't gonna sit here in this double
Wide and wait around for you
Cause I'm takin the microwave oven
And I'm takin the color tv
And I'm packin up the chevy
With the kids and whats left of me
This Kansas life is a hard one
For a girl form Miami
Just starin out at the oil fields
