about

This is the second in the series of "Underwater Again" demos. It is also one of my all time favorite songs to play live.

lyrics

Friday has come again, ain't got a dime to show
but the coolers packed
got a couple of sacks
and a pack of Marlboros
got a yellow kayak strapped to the back
a grill and a fishing pole
what doesn't kill us Sunday honey
Monday they won't know

Ain't got no money to pay the bills
but I got a couple of friends of mine
who supply me with cheap thrills
got a friend who kicks, get me my fix
and a girl named Debra Anne
we're heading out
heading south
sleeping in the van

Saw seagulls in the distance
so I threw out a line
caught a three foot mahi
know it's gonna taste oh so fine
a little rum and smoke
it ain't no joke
but I'm sure having fun
grilling mine
on mile marker nine
on the side of US1

No one's at the castle now
so I think I'm on my own
a bed in the back of Fat Lucy
sure makes that van into home
well, time will turn it's weary hands
'till we run out of gas
then you can bury me
at sea baby
and say goodbye at last
