Gulf Coast Highway |
| 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 blackbird’s wing |
| And he will fly away to Heaven, come some sweet bluebonnet spring |
| She walked through springtime when I was home |
| The days were sweet, the nights were warm |
| The seasons changed, the jobs would come the flowers fade |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| And when we die, we say, we’ll catch some blackbird’s wing |
| And we will fly away together, come some sweet bluebonnet spring |
