Swallows of San Juan
Alejandro Escovedo - Real Animal Album 2008

Gonna crawl upon the shore
Roll in the mud and the clay
Like the swallows of San Juan
I'm gonna get back, someday

A thousand steps to the water
A thousand steps you must take
There's a thousand worlds on the a head of a pin
A thousand rules to break

Next time you see me
I'm gonna smile for the camera
Like some wild man from Pompei
Take my word, go down to the sea
It's breaking bigger than anything, any of us have ever seen

I'm gonna crawl upon the shore
Roll in the mud and the clay
Like the swallows of San Juan
I'm gonna get back, someday

Had a blond TV special
And an English house staff
I lost some ??gold?? in a deal
But some day, some day I'll get em' back

Next time you see me
I'm gonna smile for the camera
Like some wild man from Pompei
Take my word, go down to the sea
It's breaking bigger than anything, anything I've ever seen

I'm 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 someday

I'm gonna get back someday...
get back someday...
gonna get back someday...
yeeahhh, someday...
gonna get back someday...
get back....
