Salt is Biting Me
Nothing but salt
for miles around
An Island in manatee county sound
The water is shallow
and murky
The sun rises on
it early
A submerged preserve mangrove island
Secrets that sleep away from the mainland
A boat like many
a drift
No
one saw the tides shift
They found my body
on Rattlesnake Key
Now the salt is biting me (biting me)
I left my confession in the sand
Was it by myself or the hand of man
Not far from Terra Ceia
Was the last time I seen ya
The waves ate up my tears
And washed away your fears
They found my body
on Rattlesnake Key
Now the salt is biting me
Oh, Lord carry
me,
Rattlesnake Key
Nothing but salt
for miles around
An island in Manatee County sound
They found my body
on Rattlesnake Key
Now the salt is biting me
