A seagull cry, a child laugh, an old man orders a drink It's been ten years since he got here and it hurts to think That years ago at this beachside bar a woman held his hand He lost his chance for true romance on South Padre Island
The woman's name was Mary Ann and Gary loved her so He said be my wife for the rest of your life and she said no Old Gary was from Indiana all his life a traveling man He had a dog and a boat and he would float and fish around the island
He's stuck at Wanna Wanna the beachfront bar sipping on a Coke and rum The tide rolls in his dreams die out waiting on a love that won't come True love never will come
Years ago in California Gary loved a girl named Sue She and three more wives told him lies when they said I do And this last one took the money and the things Gary cared about She took the dog and the boat, now he can't float cause she walked out
He's stuck at Wanna Wanna the beachfront bar sipping on a Coke and rum The tide rolls in his dreams die out waiting on a love that won't come True love never will come
Gary looks out at the gulf and squints his eyes He's thinking again of what might have been without them hard goodbyes But Gary's got lots of stories about people and places he's been Yeah, I've had a few of them good times too he said with a grin
He's stuck at Wanna Wanna the beachfront bar sipping on a Coke and rum The tide rolls in his dreams die out waiting on a love that won't come True love never will come
And Gary's still down there on Padre a little sad but he's alright If you head his way on some Sunday he'll drink with you all night
He's stuck at Wanna Wanna the beachfront bar sipping on a Coke and rum The tide rolls in his dreams die out waiting on a love that won't come True love never will comeTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
