On the Corner (Of Oh Shit and Oh My God)

 

by Larry Furman

 

I'd been working thru the night

the rain just started to fall

he flew thru red light

hit me like a brick wall

 

            on the corner of oh shit and oh my God

            oh shit and oh my God

            oh shit and oh my God

            hit me like a brick wall

 

The car was gettin' old

it almost ran ok

no heat no radio

and no monthly note to pay

 

            on the corner of oh shit and oh my God

            oh shit and oh my God

            oh shit and oh my God

            no monthly note to pay

 

                        now the damage was complete

                        the car’s a total loss

                        I got blisters on my feet

                        I wish I had a horse

 

I used to walk on the beach

To watch the dolphins play

Now I got tar-balls on my feet

No dolphins there today

 

            on the corner of oh shit and oh my God

            oh shit and oh my God

            oh shit and oh my God

            no dolphins there today

 

                        the damage is complete

                        the gulf will slowly die

                        I got tarballs on my feet

                        I’m just askin’ why
