The Gulf of Mexico - Shawn Mullins[00:00:00]
She cooks him ham and hotcakes[00:00:14]
Five thirty every morning[00:00:18]
She does the dishes and[00:00:28]
She irons his uniforms[00:00:31]
And she thinks[00:00:39]
She might have loved him once[00:00:40]
But that was so long ago[00:00:43]
And the rain pours down[00:00:52]
Like a holy waterfall[00:00:54]
Over the gulf of Mexico[00:00:59]
Boardwalk's deserted[00:01:07]
And the beach is all closed down[00:01:10]
And the middle school punk rockers[00:01:19]
Ride their skateboards through the town[00:01:23]
And she looks back and she daydreams[00:01:32]
About things an' people she's never seen[00:01:34]
Just to keep from bein' blue[00:01:38]
And she gets home about a quarter to four[00:01:45]
And she drives her brother to the liquor store[00:01:48]
On Ocean Avenue[00:01:51]
But I'm parked on the state line[00:02:05]
On this cold November day[00:02:09]
Pretty soon I'll be a drivin' fool[00:02:19]
Somewhere down this lost highway[00:02:22]
Then I hear a voice from my soul's core saying[00:02:31]
Freedom's just a metaphor[00:02:35]
You got nowhere to go[00:02:37]
And the rain pours down[00:02:44]
Like a holy waterfall[00:02:45]
Over the gulf of Mexico[00:02:50]
Over the gulf of Mexico[00:02:57]
Over the gulf of Mexico[00:03:03]
