Swallows Of San Juan Lyrics - Real Animal - Alejandro Escovedo

I gonna crawl upon the shore 

Roll in the mud and the clay 

Like the swallows of San Juan 

I'm gonna get back some day 

A thousand steps to the water 

A thousand steps you must take 

There's a thousand worlds on a head of a pin 

A thousand rules to break 

Next time you see me 

I'm going to smile for the camera 

Like some wild man from Pompeii 

Take my word 

Go down to the sea 

It's breaking bigger 

Than anything any of us have ever seen 

I gonna crawl upon the shore 

Roll in the mud and the clay 

Like the swallows of San Juan 

I'm gonna get back some day 

Had a blonde tv special 

And an English half Stef 

I lost some boats in a deal 

But some day, some day 

I'll get 'em back 

Next time you see me 

I'm going to smile for the camera 

Like some wild man from Pompeii 

Take my word 

Go down to the sea 

It's breaking bigger 

Than anything any of us have ever seen 

I gonna crawl upon the shore 

Roll in the mud and the clay 

Like the swallows of San Juan 

I'm gonna get back, get back some day 

I'm gonna get back some day 

Get back some day 

Gonna get back some day 

Yeah, some day 

Gonna get back some day 

Get back 

Get back some day
