Nanci Griffith, Mac McAnally - Gulf Coast Highway lyrics
[Nanci Griffith, Mac McAnally - Gulf Coast Highway lyrics]
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 blackbird's 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 blackbird's wing
And we will fly away to heaven
Come some sweet, blue bonnet spring
Yes, when we die
We'll catch some blackbird's wing
And we will fly away together
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring
