When I came to the Prince William Sound |
|
The Glaciers were friends to me |
|
Not one of them said I had to be home |
|
Or I couldn't have a drink |
|
Sometime late in '63 |
|
Appetites finally grew near |
|
How to get kicked off a pipeline crew |
|
Get too drunk to feel fear |
|
Winter was coming anyway seeming to last an age |
|
Lived off of my severance pay from the old pipeline days |
|
Did just fine out in the snow -- Jack was just a little help |
|
You think six months of darkness easy, you just try it yourself |
|
Woke up in time that early spring |
|
To turn on the evening news |
|
Could only sit dumb as Cronkite said |
|
"Look what's gonna happen to you" |
|
I was drunk when the shock wave hit |
|
Said goodbye to Valdez |
|
Nothing much there anyway |
|
Just the pipeline and me |
|
Earth shook earth shook |
|
Never meant nothing to me |
|
Never meant anything |
