Beverly Girl

Met this girl back in '85
Wasn't working just a bum for the ride
Her soft struck eyes touched me that day
Damn I hope they never go away

Oh I know that it will be all right
Going to Kc's on a Saturday night
West Beach is a heavenly sight
When you met a Beverly girl

Went to a wedding on an August day
Dressed in another man's robe it was the drunken way
Wasn't proud but it would be all right
Her Mom drove me home after that Saturday night

Oh you know somehow it will be all right
Going to Kc"s on a Saturday night
West Beach is a heavenly sight
When you're in love with a Beverly girl

Got married  on a rainy day
Never could keep the sun from those blue eyes that day
Carried on for nearly thirty years
Still lots of love between some pain and tears

Because you know that it will be all right
Missing Kc"s on a Saturday night
West Beach with the kids is outta sight
With me and my Beverly girl

Due props to Tom Waits, the boss, and my friends
And the Jude
