Lyrics

Casey, I hadn't written a song in years
Then there you were at the bar, gripping four bottles of beer
Said you were sick of fishing, sitting around wishing
You were down in Austin pursuing a music career
Oh, that's when my boyfriend walked in
He was fire-balled up, swear there was fire on his skin
I told you, "Sorry, I gotta go," but I said it too slow
'Cause when he caught my eye, that's when the fighting began
Soon blood was rushing all down your skull
I rolled my eyes, told Jolie, "It's time to go"
But she was already at the door, my truck's all registered on shore
There's glass on the floor, they'll start asking questions
Well, I was waiting tables at the Grand
Your head was all stitched up and my lips were painted red
You ordered coffee and Corona, sit both stoic as a soldier
I turned when you asked if you could see me again
Well, the Bering Sea has her ways
Oh, and I've seen your boat in port in six or seven days
But when I cross the bridge, I look for the Halcyon
Wonder when the captain crew will be back in
Well, now those days are slipping further away
I moved home back east, so sick of the darkness every day
I heard you're living on a ranch
Wrestling cows and stealing glances
From the girls who'll never understand Aleutian romances
Don't fall in love with a fisherman
Stop making eyes at the bartender
This island don't need another tortured soul walking on the road
They say a Coast Guard cutter is coming through
I got ninety-nine things that I ought to be doing
Instead I sit back with my mind all ruined
Wondering where I'm going tonight
So, Casey, I ain't written a song in years
And I'm still sitting at the bar just steering clear of my own tears
Tyler Childers song comes on, my mind goes on and on and on
Thinking about Dutch Harbor and how it's been too long
