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 |
Then he will fly away to Heaven come |
some sweet blue bonnet spring |
She walked through springtime |
When I was home |
The days were sweet |
The nights were warm |
The seasons change, 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 blackbirds wing |
Then 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 |
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 blackbirds wing |
Then we will fly away to Heaven come |
some sweet blue bonnet spring |
And when we die we say, we’ll |
catch some blackbirds wing |
We will fly away together come |
some sweet blue bonnet spring |
