Overshore Lyrics

Ounce for ounce was the right amount

Added back into yours and we'll never run out

Gave it back at the final count

Tallied up and he said son how'd you make out

Opened up and the tally's out

Buddy said say here's your smile marks and how'd you make out

Top brass the seals on your envelope

Signed and stamped and dated just for you

Roll soul the numbers on a metal roll

Sitting on the double say it's gonna be a roll

Looks to me like it's all been worn

The age only makes me a little more sure

Oh now that we know that it's always been

True to its form

Roundel said son why don't you turn and face

We'll keep 'em happy and you're staying up with your chase

First in luck and tucked into second place

Silver wings said the paint looks a lot like their ace

Loved the rock in the wings and the way

That the wash came back over your silver seams

Heard the whistle in the ports saying

The glass was forward when he

Came overshore

Good shot was it not was that a smile that I

Picked up and painted on

Don't mind the waves
