Resurrection Bay (Live)

Well I met her up in Helena

At the state mental hospital

I was put there by a judge, boys

She was put there by the same

Just one look into her green eyes

Catalina she was all mine

She told me of her paradise

Called it Resurrection Bay

Well we both knew we were cured

No matter 'bout the judges word

And on that first day of summer

We made our escape

Yeah running through that June night

With them stars as our only light

She said that every star that falls, boy

Lands in Resurrection Bay

Oh so me and Catalina

Yeah, we hitchhiked to Alaska

All through them drunken forests

Up through that Alcan highway

Made it down to the Kenai

On the fourth of July

Made love under the exploding skies

Of Resurrection Bay

Well Catalina was a strange girl

Not long for this world

Oh why they put her up in Helena

Oh lord, she would not say

She was in love with that water

Like a mother to a daughter

I watched her smiling face go under

From the shores of Resurrection Bay

Now I ain't nothing but a stranger

Moving south through your country

Yeah, I've been eating from your orange grove

And I've been sleeping through your days

Oh at night I watch the black skies

I see them stars go shooting by

I know that every star that falls

Lands in Resurrection Bay
