lyrics

i work at the service station
she worked at the bank
she saved up all her money
for a move up to the city

it’s not hard to be in love with a brownsville girl
but it’s a blue tarp moon
it’s a blue tarp moon
it’s a blue tarp moon and it’s shining just on me

after school i walked her home and she took me to her room
i layed there for an hour with the reverend’s only daughter

it’s not hard to be in love with a brownsville girl
beneath the blue tarp moon
i took her in my arms
if our love is damned at least it should have scars

i was up for a long time
i was looking at you
i recognized the sadness in your eyes
you can see mine too
we watched out the window as the stars burned out
she said “i don’t want you to go, but you better go now”
“you better go now”

i’m still at the service station, your mom came by today
she told me that you’re happy
and that you’re better off without me

it’s not hard to be in love with a brownsville girl
but it’s a blue tarp moon
it’s a blue tarp moon
it’s a blue tarp moon and it’s shining just on me
it’s a blue tarp moon and it’s shining just on me
