lyrics

It's a staid life, mama, livin' day to day
It's a staid life, mama, livin' day to day
Hurricane come and take this boy away

Yeah that wind is gonna blow the clouds out of my eyes
I said that wind is gonna blow the clouds out of my eyes
There ain't but one way, woman, to get to Paradise

I'm headed west, baby, on down to Ocean Boulevard
I'm headed west, baby, on down to Ocean Boulevard
I'm gonna meet it at the corner, I'm gonna shoot it through the heart

I can feel a darkness comin', won't you take from me, my son
The prayers in my gullet and the bullets in my gun
This guitar that I'm strummin' is like a fire waitin' to burn
So light your way 'till mornin' in the darkness that's to come

Im goin' down, mama, on a sunny day
I'm goin' down, mama, on a sunny day
Maybe I'll write you a postcard from Guantanamo Bay
