Nanci Griffith & Mac McAnally - Gulf Coast Highway Lyrics

Lyrics Gulf Coast Highway - Nanci Griffith , Mac McAnally



Gulf Coast Highway
He worked the rails
He worked the rice fields
With their cool dark wells
He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
The only thing we've ever owned
Is this old house here by the road
And when he dies he says he'll catch some black bird's wing
And we will fly away to heaven come some sweet bluebonnet spring
She walked through spring time when I was home
The days were sweet our nights were warm
The seasons changed jobs would come
The flowers fade
And this old house felt so alone when the work took me away
And when she dies she says she'll catch some blackbird's wing
And she will fly away to heaven come some sweet bluebonnet spring
Highway 90
The jobs are gone
We tend our garden
We set the sun
This is the only place on earth bluebonnets grow
And once a year they come and go at this old house here by the road
And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing
And we will fly away to heaven come some sweet bluebonnet spring
Yes when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing
And we will fly away together come some sweet bluebonnet spring
