Manteo Lyrics

Chesapeake, I could barely speak
When I said my first goodbye
My angel she had frozen feet
The day that I arrived

Take your chances hustlin'
Or work a nine-to-five
If we don't get busted
We may get out alive

Manteo, got me tonight

A pluck of feather a clip of wing
You'll forget that it hurts
I used to keep my nose clean
But now I just sleep in the dirt
And I got a coat of colors I wear it very nice
I know you get what you paid for
I never even thought twice

Manteo, got me tonight

Chesapeake, I could barely speak
When I said my first goodbye
My angel she had frozen feet
The day that I arrived

So we took our chances bustin'
Our pinata valentine
You had a boy you trusted
And I had a heart for of lives

Manteo, this is goodbye.
