Shawn Mullins - Tannin Bed Song lyrics

Maria lays in the tannin bed And reads the tuesday news She1s down there every week at the Same time with the same ol' blues She reads the funny papers And then the cla**ifieds And if she ain1t too sleepy, there's the Weather report on the flip side And this kansas life is a hard one For a girl from miami You're just staring out at the oil fields And that's all that i can see Her old man1s in the same place Since the company let him go Just sippin the pabst blue ribbon and Cussin amoco Maria drives home From the tannin bed And the black clouds Roll across the sky She pulls into the trailer park, pops the Trunk and calls the kids outside Said there1s a twister comin And you haven1t got a clue I ain't going to sit here in this double Wide and wait around for you Cause i'm takin the microwave oven And i'm takin the color tv And i'm packin up the chevy With the kids and what's left of me This kansas life is a hard one For a girl from miami Just staring out at the oil fields
