She and San Miguel
By Garland Davis
Well, here I go again
Savoring that Shit River wind
Waiting for liberty to go down
Made it up Cemetery Hill
Hell bent on getting down
To the lights of Barrio town
Cause she and San Miguel drive me crazy
Tonight, I have the Pesonality
I think this night might kill me
Once is one time too many and twice just ain’t enough
Thirty days and nights
Putting up a fight on that gunline
Subic is there with Shit River on the wind
It’s not easy to forget
Her face the morning I left
I swore I’d make it there again
When it comes to San Miguel and her
Oh, the damage she can do
It’s always her favorite sins that do me in
Once is one time too many and twice just ain’t enough
Never enough, she and San Miguel
Brings back memories…I really like your poetic style.
Writing my own historical fiction on Navy aviation. Be putting up my own blog soon. Looking forward to see more of your musings.
