Man of Reason - Did You Ever Cross Shit River

Did you cross shit river
Did you cross shit river

Holed up on the bird farm
Forty-five days
Salty dog stories
Brown bottle and brown ladies

At first I was a cherry
I thought it all was lies
The cure for a tired sailor
Magsaysay Drive

Magsaysay Drive

Did you ever change your dollars
Into peso-nality
Did you ever drown your liver
In fermented barley tea
Did you ever fall in love
On the first night of liberty
Did you cross shit river
Did you ever cross that river

Did you cross shit river
Wanna hear about it

I ventured down the highway
Special jeepney ride
Put a smile on my face
I'm only here for a short time
I stumble back to the gate
In a mojo state of mind
I called up the detailer and said
Give me orders to the PI
Give me them orders brother

Did you ever change your dollars
Into peso-nality
Did you ever drown your liver
In fermented barley tea
Did you ever fall in love
On the first night of liberty
Did you cross shit river
Did you ever cross that river now

Did you cross shit river

You've been in the Navy
Got the t-shirt too
Tattoos of some island lady all blurry and faded blue
Gained a couple of pounds since 1992
So go back and get some loving
She's waiting there for you

You can change all your dollars
Into peso-nality
Finish off your liver
San Miguel by the sea
You can go back and fall in love
Until the next morning
Go back and cross shit river
Gotta go back and cross that river now
Go

Did you cross shit river (Break off the chains)
Did you cross shit river (Cross that river)
Did you cross shit river (Let it all hang out baby)
Did you cross shit river
