lyrics

4/ 1986 [TJ]

Jesus walked on water
My love she followed him
When I tried that righteous side
I took one step and I fell in

Come on now you young rounders
Bastard kids of poetry
Drive out of town
You watch those lights going down
Thought if you’d leave, you’d be free

Have a drink, son
Everybody drinks some
To lose what’s in your mind
In this hot sun, this California hot sun
There ain’t damn treasures to find
There’s just meanness in this bottle of apple wine

Come on now friends and lovers
Children of Reagan’s morning blues
Grab that crown and a selfish frown
Ain’t no redemption in these shoes

Have a drink, son
Everybody drinks some
To lose what’s in your mind
In this hot sun, this California hot sun
There ain’t damn treasures to find
There’s just meanness in this bottle of apple wine

They say Jesus walked on water
My love, she walked there too
When I tried that righteous side
Lord, man, there ain’t no use

Have a drink, son
Everybody drinks some
To lose what’s in your mind
In this hot sun, this California hot sun
There ain’t damn treasures to find
There’s just meanness in this bottle of apple wine
