Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A corner dive down on the square
Where the windows hang with the neon flare
Regular shoot horse and pull
While the barmaid wishes the place half full
She works the jar with a discount flirt
A faded Houston Oilers shirt
While an old crow sings
Down on the stage, thumbin' the chords on a crinkled page
He plays a Zevon tune
'Neath a gulf moon
[Verse 2]
Take a walk down along the wall
You go right on past the carnival
Hand in hand with the keeper  kind
The kind that ties to the ties that bind
Don't care for the carney  man
Or the fortune teller who reads your hand
You just B-line for a bungalow
Where the curtains fluttered
The candles glow in the heart of June
'Neath a gulf moon
[Verse 3]
And here I'm on a midnight porch
Lookin' up at a butane torch
That hangs behind the black expanse
Where the stars flicker, planets dancin'
It's probably time I pack it in
With a glass half full of Jameson
Well, I was born to croon
I might as well
'Neath a gulf moon
[Verse 4]
Down by the jetty near the Balinese Pier
The curmudgeons drink the yellow belly beer
And they bitch about the price of gas
And the fish that they can't seem to catch
They blame it on the islands way down south
From the bayou marsh and the delta mouth
Where the choppers roll and the tankers come
And a midnight daze for the oil drum
They can't leave too soon
'Neath a gulf moon
