Lobo - Back Bay lyrics

Out of work I took a job as a Hand on a boat In a town called Matlache On my first day off I was Sitting drinking beer At a bar called the dock of the bay When in walked a woman That every man eyed But her eyes stayed right on me The guy next to me he Whispered real low There's more to her than you can see She comes from the back bay Better stay away She lives up on the back bay And then he moved on away Well she came and sat down And the hours flew by And the beer flowed just like the tide The sun went down and the moon came up And there was fire in her eyes She took me for a ride in the white moonlight In a boat like I've never seen As the bay flew by the sky was alive I was seeing things that I've never seen She said you're going to the back bay You're gonna see my ways Cause there's magic on the back bay You might even want to stay Well I woke in the morning to Her house boat rocking Eye to eye with an old brown hound There was fresh mullet frying And strange birds crying And no one else for miles around I saw her standing there with The breeze in her hair I knew I never wanted to leave I saw all my things around I Knew she'd been back into town And already mad the move for me She said you're moving to the back bay You're gonna see my ways You're gonna love it on the back bay And you're always gonna stay
