A Seagull cry, a child laugh. An old man orders a drink Its been ten years since he got here And it hurts to think That years ago at this beach side bar A woman held his hand And he lost his chance for true romance of south padre island The womans name was mary ann Gary loved her so He said be my wife for the rest of your life She said no Gary was from indiana All his life a teaveling man He had a dog and boat and he would float And fish around this old island And he is stuck in wanna wanna At the beach front bar Sippin on coke and rum The tide rolls in and his dreams die out. He is waiting on a love that wont come Na true love that never will come Years ago in california gary loved a girl named sue She and theree more wifes rold him lies when rhey said i do And this last one took the miney and rhe things gary cared about She took the dog and the boat So he cant float Cause ahe walked out Now he is stuck in wanna wanna At a beach fromt bar Sippin on cke and rum The tide rolls in and his dreams die out
