Shawn Mullins - Tannin Bed Song Lyrics
Maria lays in the tannin bedAnd reads the tuesday newsShe1s down there every week at theSame time with the same ol bluesShe reads the funny papersAnd then the classifiedsAnd if she ain1t too sleepy, theres theWeather report on the flip sideAnd this kansas life is a hard oneFor a girl from miamiYoure just staring out at the oil fieldsAnd thats all that I can seeHer old man1s in the same placeSince the company let him goJust sippin the pabst blue ribbon andCussin amocoMaria drives homeFrom the tannin bedAnd the black cloudsRoll across the skyShe pulls into the trailer park, pops theTrunk and calls the kids outsideSaid there1s a twister cominAnd you haven1t got a clueI aint going to sit here in this doubleWide and wait around for youCause Im takin the microwave ovenAnd Im takin the color tvAnd Im packin up the chevyWith the kids and whats left of meThis kansas life is a hard oneFor a girl from miamiJust staring out at the oil fields
