The Gulf of Mexico

                                  The Texas coastline hold her, close just like a lady

And in their time they've, weathered a storm or two

The river feed her waters like, I feed your memory

The deeper I go the more I'm turning blue



The sandy beaches drift in time and the changing

Tide I know, won't bring me back to yesterday

And the Gulf of Mexico, the sails out on the water

Will come take you away



When your ship comes in I know it's time to go

And the waves along the seawall

Tell me nothing's here to stay

And no man is an island but I'm still all alone



I'm weighing anchors from the past as the south

Winds start to blow, sailing out of yesterday

And the Gulf of Mexico, I'll be sailing out of yesterday

And the Gulf of Mexico
