Gulf Coast Highway
main lyrics
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 we will fly away to Heaven come some sweet bluebonnet spring

She walked through springtime when I was home
days were sweet, our nights were warm
the seasons changed, 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
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
and we will fly away to Heaven come some sweet bluebonnet spring

Yes, when we die, we say, we'll catch some blackbird's wing
and we will fly away together come some sweet bluebonnet spring
