Ridin’
it Out
You see him on tv: “I’m ridin’
it out”
He sneers, “I been through lotsa
hurricanes
Ain’t never needed to leave, not
gonna now
I’m protectin’ my own; I know
what I’m doin’”
Ridin’ it out
You see the turtles eating the
man’s eyes first
They’re soft and delicious, a
scavenger’s treat
They’ve already eaten his
children’s eyes
Except for the little girl, taken
down by a ‘gator
Ridin’ it out
