She cooks him ham and hocakes 
At 5:30 in the morn 
She does the dishes 
And irons his uniforms 
And she thinks she might have loved 
Him once but that was long ago 

And the rain pours down 
Like a holy waterfall 
Over the gulf of mexico 

The boardwalk's deserted 
And the beach is all closed down 
And the middle school punkrockers 
Ride their skateboards 
Through the town 

And she looks back and she daydreams 
About things and people she's never 
Seen just to keep from being blue and 
She gets home about a quarter to four 
And drives her brother 

To the liquor store on ocean avenue 
And I'm parked on the state line on this 
Cold November day and pretty soon I'll 
Be a drivin fool somewhere down this 
Lost highway 

Then I hear a voice from 
My soul's core sayin "freedom's just a 
Metaphor, you got nowhere to go" 

And the rain pours down like a 
Holy waterfall over the gulf of mexico 
Over the gulf of mexico
