C The Texas coastline hold her G Close just like a lady
And in their time they've C Weathered a storm or two.
The river feed her waters like I G Feed your memory.
The deeper I go the more I'm C Turning blue. F The sandy beaches drift in time C G And the changing tide I know C Won't bring me back to yesterday G And the Gulf of Mexico. C The sails out on the water will G Come take you away.
When your ship comes in I know C Its time to go
And the waves along the seawall G Tell me nothings here to stay
And no man is an island but I'm C Still all alone. F I'm weighing anchors from the past C G As the south winds start to blow C Sailing out of yesterday G And the Gulf of Mexico. F C I'll be sailing out of yesterday G F C G C And the Gulf of Mexic.
