《Gulf Coast Highway》歌词

[00:00:00] Gulf Coast Highway (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith

[00:00:08] Gulf Coast Highway

[00:00:12] He worked the rails

[00:00:16] He worked the rice fields

[00:00:19] With their cool dark wells

[00:00:23] He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico

[00:00:29] The only thing we've ever owned

[00:00:33] Is this old house here by the road

[00:00:38] And when he dies he says

[00:00:41] He'll catch some blackbird's wing

[00:00:44] Then he will fly away to

[00:00:46] Heaven come some sweet blue bonnet spring

[00:00:53] She walked through springtime

[00:00:57] When I was home

[00:01:01] The days were sweet

[00:01:05] The nights were warm

[00:01:08] The seasons change the jobs

[00:01:11] Would come the flowers fade

[00:01:14] This old house felt so alone

[00:01:19] When the work took me away

[00:01:24] And when she dies she says;

[00:01:26] She'll catch some blackbird's wing

[00:01:29] Then she will fly away to

[00:01:32] Heaven come some sweet blue bonnet spring

[00:01:55] Highway 90

[00:01:59] The jobs are gone

[00:02:03] We tend our garden

[00:02:06] We set the sun

[00:02:10] This is the only place on earth blue bonnets grow

[00:02:16] Once a year they come and go

[00:02:20] At this old house here by the road

[00:02:25] And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing

[00:02:31] Then we will fly away to heaven come some

[00:02:36] Sweet blue bonnet spring

[00:02:40] And when we die we'll catch some blackbird's wing

[00:02:46] We will fly away together come

[00:02:50] Some sweet blue bonnet spring
