TEJAS
Capo @ 2 in C

I met a girl. Her name was Tejas
Shrimping south of Texas City
In her eyes I could see chaos
In her voice I heard confetti

In her purse I found the lip gloss
She bought in New York City
When she jumped I felt such deep loss
It bordered on self-pity

Waves are waving.
Fish are asleep.

She left a note that said, “I’m sorry
Please give Pete my final pay.”
By the time we found her body
Tejas had slipped away

I knew a girl. Her name was Tejas
Shrimping south of Texas City
In her eyes I could see chaos
In her voice I heard confetti

When she jumped I felt such deep loss
It bordered on self-pity…
