Colin Gawel - Superior Lyrics
She lives in a house two blocks from the lakeHer son named Joe's in the second gradeAnd her husband works six hours south outside MilwaukeeShe gets lonely, it's not too badBefore bedtime, Joe misses his dadAnd she works part-time tending bar near the local collegeSuperior is deeper and fartherSuperior never gives up her daughtersThey spend their lives by it's cool, cool watersShe married too young, and that's a factShe loves her son, wouldn't take it backShe still has her looks, she knows 'cause the boys all tell her soShe drops off Joe at her mother-in-law'sShe likes Presque Isle for taking long walksAnd she sits and watches the surf mist in the treesSuperior is deeper and fartherSuperior never gives up her daughtersThey spend their lives by it's cool, cool watersShe walks alone at night on the beachShe wonders if this is all there ever will beAnd one day Joe comes of age, and he's gonna want to leave this place, tooHer husband calls on the telephoneHe says, "I ain't ever coming home.It's much too cold up there. It's warmer here in Milwaukee."Joe gets over it pretty fastThe other kids help make him laughBesides, the ice is melting soon he'll be swimming in the lakeSuperior is deeper and fartherSuperior never gives up her daughtersThey spend their lives by it's cool, cool waters
