Sam Hunt In Governor's Bay

I went to Governor's Bay last night
In shattered evening light
Parked up a battered car
Against a battered shed
And smoked

I went to Governor's Bay last night
With a young dog's nose
Out the window
In the wind
And we parked up in our battered car
And spoke our smattered minds

I went to Governor's Bay last night
To feed my ears of words
A passing poet lay cadence alive
My thoughts intent on his
A waterfall of starts and stops
He tumbled out his verse

I went to Governor's Bay last night
I watched the view and felt the words
I drank house wine
(It's cheaper, you know)
And watched the houses that were homes
As they darkened towards sleep

I went to Governor's Bay last night
I wandered to the battered car
Stroked the young dog's nose
We parked up by a battered shed
And smoked our soothed mind
We slept last night
In Governor's Bay.
