Well baby you know it's been a long time comin'
The fights were hard and the nights got long
And I just got so sick of running
From all the things you said were wrong
So you packed up and took off westbound
You said Seattle called you by name
And now it's cold and wet in your new town
But once you cross the Red it's a bright fine day

Cause it's not raining down in Corpus
Don't you know those dark clouds can't find me
So I'll take my bottle and lime
Move a little further on down the line
And think about how good life can be

It's funny how the water can open your eyes
Make you see your life in a whole new light
And I can almost see that frame in the Western skies
And the southern wind it makes me feel alright

Cause it's not rainin' in Corpus
Don't you know those dark clouds can't find me
So I'll take my bottle and lime
Move a little further on down the line
And think about how good life can be

I hope the salvation you've been chasing
Lives up in some Pacific Bay
And when you think about what you're missing
You can picture me sailing away

Cause it's not raining on the islands
Don't you know those dark clouds can't find me
So I'll take my bottle and lime
Move a little further down the line
And think about how good life can be
