Southbound Bevy

Frank Black

I used to think about the world 
Like so many people do 
I sure did want to get myself to Mexico 
But as days of life unfurled 
Well there was nothing I could do 
I only made it to the bar where I go I'm going 
I stood below a southbound bevy 
Oh, and I could not believe my heart could feel so heavy 
I used to think about the world 
Don’t get your spirits high 
They’ll all come crashing down 
Don’t let your trumpet sound 
You’ll be left wondering why

Oh, and I could not believe my heart could feel so heavy 
I walked along the county levy 
Oh, and I could not believe my heart could feel so heavy 
I used to think about the world 
Don’t get your spirits high 
They’ll all come crashing down 
Don’t let your trumpet sound 
You’ll be left wondering why
