The War Effort - Bakersfield lyrics

We had the beach we had no shame to walk it And to talk about the high tides Where the seagulls fall to depths that bring no tears to our crying eyes Couldn't talk about the current that followed you Count the guns one and two Where the gra** lays sideways And the people two and three That was enough for me to call you back to Bakersfield The kids they like the way they want it, but so it seems They laugh, they love the songs about heart ache, but I'm not sure what the means The cat that ran, they sew the seeds, but find a way from all this coughing But boy you hardly know what you've done Hopeful mothers wait for the Spring Young gun graveyards wait for anything Take one good look at the Sun and tell me which ones yours No one runs when they're rea**ured
