Corpus Lyrics

Well, I drove down from Dallas with low expectations

To visit a friend and some distant relations

I arrived late at night in the mood for libations

Made a beeline for the rooftop bar

And I ordered a Shiner and I poured it out slowly

All the lights of the city all twinkling below me

I looked out at the water, all dark, vast, and knowing

'Neath the party light strings of the stars

Have you ever seen Corpus from the Omni Hotel?

With the bay in the moonlight as it catches the swells

If you have, you might fall for this city as well

As I did, God forbid, but I did

Ooh, yes I did, God forbid, but I did

In the morning the sun rose above Mustang Island

And the breeze blew the sand across the bay half a mile and

I looked out of my window, and I caught myself smiling

At this total surprise of a view

And the Gulf wore a ball gown, all shimmering and seamless

All the wind turbines turning like some great ballerinas

And my friend tried to tell me they keep out the mosquitoes

But that wasn't entirely true

Have you ever seen Corpus from the Omni Hotel?

With the bay in the moonlight as it catches the swells

If you have, you might fall for this city as well

As I did, God forbid, but I did

Ooh, yes I did, God forbid, but I did

Have you ever seen Corpus from the Omni Hotel?

With the daredevil kite surfers riding the swells

If you have, you might fall for this city as well

As I did, God forbid, but I did

Ooh, yes I did

God forbid

But I did
