Guy Clark - South Coast Of Texas Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The south coast of Texas is a thin slice of life
  • It' s salty and hard it it stern as a knife
  • Where the wind is for blwon' up hurricanes for showin'
  • The snakes how to swim and the trees how to lean
  • Chorus
  • The shrimpers and their ladies are out in the beer joints
  • Drinkin' em down for they sail with the dawn
  • They're bound for the Mexican Bay of Campche
  • And the deck hands are singin' adios Jole Blon
  • There's snowbirds in search of that sunshine and night life
  • And fond of greasin' palms down the beach as they're goin'
  • This livin' on the edge of the waters of the world
  • Demands the dignity of whooping cranes and
  • The likes of Gilbert Roland
  • Chorus
  • In the cars of my youth how I tore thru those sand dunes
  • Cut up my tires on them oyster shell roads
  • But nothin' is forever say the old men in the shipyards
  • Turnin' trees into shrimp oats Hell I guess they ought to know
  • Chorus
