about

Inspired by the legendary Getty's Cove in Vantage Washington. The "Cove" was a family run campground near the Gorge concert venue. Suffice to say, few rules and things got weird there.

lyrics

The legend of Getty’s Cove

Back in 94, we headed east for the Melvins tour
Got dark and had to stay, in a park we would pay
Crossed a mighty river we did, took a left and met this kid
Said he was the owners son, if we had funds

Getty’s cove, you could do anything that you wanted to.
Burn a car, party down, just don’t drive to town
Getty’s Cove would party till morn. Getty’s Cove would party till morn.

Came back again cause we thought it was fine for the minimal fee
Kind of dirty and kinda sketch, no leash laws so you could play fetch
Four in the mourn, we hear a yell, some kind of party quelled
Woke up in the morn in time to see, a man pee in the lake did he

Getty’s cove, you could do anything that you wanted to.
Burn a car, party down, just don’t drive to town
Getty’s Cove would party till morn. Getty’s Cove would party till morn.

Went back with friends again, and the weird wouldn’t end
And much to my dismay, people were at constant play
Then started the live bands, that wouldn’t be paid a hand
And then they would play till morn, yelling all the way

Getty’s cove, you could do anything that you wanted to.
Burn a car, party down, just don’t drive to town
Getty’s Cove would party till morn. Getty’s Cove would party till morn.

You could shower there, not enough pressure to wash your hair
Stay there party some more, the bathroom doesn’t have a door
A bag of ice was five bucks, throw it in the back of the truck
And hear yelling at 2 in the morn

Getty’s cove, you could do anything that you wanted to.
Burn a car, party down, just don’t drive to town
Getty’s Cove would party till morn. Getty’s Cove would party till morn.

Come the cops they did. They went to warn the kid
Music had to stop at four in the morn
Finally got shut down by the people from town
And that was the end of this place - and all the fun

Getty’s cove, you could do anything that you wanted to.
Burn a car, party down, just don’t drive to town
Getty’s Cove would party till morn. Getty’s Cove would party till morn.
