Lyrics

Corpus Christi ©2001 Jon T. Howard

The wind always blows hot down there
In off the Gulf of Mexico
Smoke stacks they rise up everywhere
Painting the skyline a hazy shade of gold
Thirty years and a thousand days
Thirty three years of empty space
Followed me every step I made

Maybe he wasn't such a bad man
Maybe he did the best he knew
I guess I'll never know what he was thinking
Since I never walked in his shoes

In Corpus Christi
I found a piece of my soul
In Corpus Christi
Oh I buried an old ghost

Pictures of Selena hang everywhere
Like an eternal patron saint of hope
The sins of my father I'll always bare
Some pain hurts deeper than we know
We walked along the south Texas shore
On that early Sunday morn
Trying to find the right words to say
Thirty years and a thousand days
Thirty three years of empty space
With us every step we made

Maybe he wasn't such a bad man
Maybe he did the best he knew
I guess I'll never know what he was thinking
Since I never walked in his shoes

In Corpus Christi
I found a piece of my soul
In Corpus Christi
Oh I buried an old ghost
In Corpus Christi
I found a piece of my soul
In Corpus Christi
Oh I buried an old ghost
