Gulf Coast Highway
by Nanci Griffith
(C) Gulf coast highway, I (F) worked the (C) rails,
I worked the rice fields with their cool dark (F) wells,
I worked the (Am) oilrigs in the (G) gulf of Mexi (C) co,
The only (F) thing I?ve ever (C) owned is this old (G) house here by the (C) road
Chorus
And when I (Am) die, I say I'll (G) catch some blackbird's (C) wing
And I will (F) fly away to (C) heaven, come some (G) sweet bluebonnet (C) spring
(C)She walked through spring time, when (F)I was (C)home
Our days were sweet, the nights were (F)warm
Seasons pass, jobs would (G)come, flowers (C) fade,
This old(F) house felt so (C) alone when the (G) work took me a (C)way
And when she (Am) dies, she says she'll (G) catch some blackbird?s (C) wing,
And she will (F) fly away to (C) heaven, come some (G) sweet bluebonnet (C) spring.
(C)Highway 90, the (F) jobs are (C) gone,
We tend our garden, we set the (F) sun
This is the (Am) only place on (G)earth bluebonnets (C) grow
And once a (F) year they come and (C) go
At this old (G) house here by the (C) road
And when we (Am) die, we say we'll (G) catch some blackbird's (C) wing,
And we will (F) fly away (C) together come some (G) sweet bluebonnet (C) spring.
And when we (Am) die, we say we?ll (G) catch some blackbird?s (C) wing,
And we will (F) fly away to (C) heaven, come some (G) sweet bluebonnet (C) spring
