Gulf Coast Highway |
Gulf Coast Highway, he worked the rails |
He worked the rice fields with their cold 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 we will fly away to heaven |
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring |
She walked through springtime, when I was home |
The days were sweet, our nights were warm |
The seasons changed, the jobs would come |
The flowers fade, and this old house felt so alone |
When the work took me away |
And when she dies |
She said she’ll catch some blackbird’s wing |
And she will fly away to heaven |
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring |
Highway 90, the jobs are gone |
We tend our garden, we set the sun |
This is the only place on earth blue bonnets 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 |
We will fly away to heaven |
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring |
Yes, when we die, we say |
We’ll catch some blackbird’s wing |
And we will fly away together |
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring |
