Lyrics
Gulf Coast Highway
He worked the rails
He worked the rice fields
With their cold dark wells
He worked the oil rigs
In the Gulf of Mexico
The only thing he ever owned
Was this old house here by the road
And when he dies he says he'll catch
Some blackbird's wing
And he will fly away to heaven
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring
She walked through springtime
When I was home
Her days were sweet
Her nights were warm
Seasons changed, jobs would come
The flowers fade
And 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 blue bonnet spring
Highway 90
Those jobs are gone
We kept our garden
Oh, we saved the sun
This is the only place on earth
Blue bonnets grow
And once a year they come and go
To 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
And when we die we say we'll catch
Some blackbird's wing
And we will fly away together
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring
