grabbed some of my clothes

a few other things i'd need

headed back to hellish texas

ended up on high island

back living in my car again

just needed some time alone

trying to pull myself back together

hypnotized .. I watched the gulf's waves

sharks .. as they continuously swam by

after a few days I headed towards winnie

it was a wild weekend

the rice festival was in town

on stage .. freddy fender was singing

he'd just been released from prison

seemed my life was over before it began

ran into a bunch of local heads

muncie, john, jose and billy

we smoked some sweet leaf

caught up on old crazy times

they took off to meet a pusher

who was setup in a corner of the park

selling drugs to any and everyone

low on cash .. I didn't go with them

they said raccoon will be here soon

he's bringing lots of pain meds

we all met later .. down at charlie's

had a few ice cold draft beers

muncie poured a white powder

out on the counter .. grabbed a straw

quickly he'd inhaled a tiny pile of cocaine

wasn't long before muncie was flying

irony is muncie flies a plane .. cropduster

john, jose and billy are total speed freaks

they'd moseyed on to the back of the bar

corner of my eye .. I saw their needles glint

front door opened .. in walked stoned high raccoon

muncie told him I wanted to make a large buy

when raccoon realized i'd brought in the sinsimilla

he dropped a ribbed alligator bag in  my hand

filled with downers .. quaaludes, limbrium and valiums

I handed raccoon an ounce of sinsimilla

told the guys i'd see them sometime later

raccoon had said hey .. don't take too many

I reassured him .. of course not, I know better

reached my car, locked my doors .. took two hands full

before the next teardrop falls .. played in the background
