Gulf Coast Highway

Gulf coast highway, I worked the rails
  F          C                      G          F
I worked the rice fields with their cool, dark wells
             Am              G           C
I worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
         F            C                 G                 C
The only thing I ever owned is this old house here by the road

           Am            G                      C
But when I die I'm gonna catch some blackbird's wing
       F           C                 G                 C
I will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring

I walked through springtime when we were home
                                     F
Our days were sweet, our nights were warm
            Am                  G                 C
The seasons changed, jobs would come, the flowers fade
             F              C         G              C
And this old house felt so alone when work took him away

            Am                 G                      C
And when he dies he says he'll catch some blackbird's wing
        F           C                 G                 C
He will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring

Highway 90, the jobs are gone
                               F
We tend our garden, we set the sun
            Am            G                  C
This is the only place on earth Blue Bonnets grow
       F                  C                G                 C
Once a year they come and grow at this old house here by the road

            Am               G                      C
And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing
        F           C                 G                 C
We will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring

            Am               G                      C
And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing
        F          C                 G                 C
We will fly away together, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring
