Coast
Way down south where the highland fades
There's a poor man working in a rice filled maze
And a barefoot boy on a jetty plank
As he walks into the gulf
And a lighthouse shining out to the sea
To the shrimper staring in disbelief
At the mermaid saying he's gotta believe
That the light will take him home
And by the Mississippi River
There's a Southbound train
And it's headed for the gulf
Gonna buy my ticket and hold it tight
'Til I know I'm getting close
See me running down the alleyway
Looking for the jetties
Searching for my soul
You know
Oh-
I'm headed for the coast
For the coast
Too many young people trying to run their lives
Too many rich folks trying to change their mind
I'm tired of the hustle
Get out of the bustle
Every time I see the light
Tell me, baby, can you feel my soul?
I'm rolling with the rhythm of cruise control
I got three chords and I speak the truth
To Willie Nelson, that's a country song
By the Mississippi River
There's a Southbound train
And it's headed for the gulf
Gonna buy my ticket and hold it tight
'Til I know I'm getting close
See me running down the alleyway
Looking for the jetties
Searching for my soul
You know
Oh
I'm headed for the coast
For the coast
And by the Mississippi River
There's a Southbound train
And it's heading for the gulf
Gonna buy my ticket
And hold it tight
'Til I know I'm getting close
You see me running down the alleyway
Looking for the jetties
Searching for my soul
You know
Oh
I'm headed for the coast
For the coast
There's a poor man working in a rice filled maze
And a barefoot boy on a jetty plank
As he walks into the gulf
And a lighthouse shining out to the sea
To the shrimper staring in disbelief
At the mermaid saying he's gotta believe
That the light will take him home
And by the Mississippi River
There's a Southbound train
And it's headed for the gulf
Gonna buy my ticket and hold it tight
'Til I know I'm getting close
See me running down the alleyway
Looking for the jetties
Searching for my soul
You know
Oh-
I'm headed for the coast
For the coast
Too many young people trying to run their lives
Too many rich folks trying to change their mind
I'm tired of the hustle
Get out of the bustle
Every time I see the light
Tell me, baby, can you feel my soul?
I'm rolling with the rhythm of cruise control
I got three chords and I speak the truth
To Willie Nelson, that's a country song
By the Mississippi River
There's a Southbound train
And it's headed for the gulf
Gonna buy my ticket and hold it tight
'Til I know I'm getting close
See me running down the alleyway
Looking for the jetties
Searching for my soul
You know
Oh
I'm headed for the coast
For the coast
And by the Mississippi River
There's a Southbound train
And it's heading for the gulf
Gonna buy my ticket
And hold it tight
'Til I know I'm getting close
You see me running down the alleyway
Looking for the jetties
Searching for my soul
You know
Oh
I'm headed for the coast
For the coast
