Emmylou Harris - Gulf Coast Highway - Текст песни

(nanci griffith)

Gulf coast highwayhe worked the rails
He worked the rice fields with their cold dark wells
He worked the oil rigs in the gulf of mexico
The only thing weв've owned is this old house here by the road

And when he dies he says heв'll catch some blackbirdв's wing
And we will fly away to heaven
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring

She walked through springtime when I was home
The days were sweetour nights were warm
The seasons changedthe jobs would come
The flowers fadeand this old house felt so alone
When the work took me away

And when she dies she says sheв'll catch some blackbirdв's wing
And she will fly away to heaven
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring

Highway 90the jobs are gone
We kept our gardenwe set the sun
This is the only place on earth blue bonnets grow
And once a year they come and go
At this old house here by the road

And when we die we say weв'll catch some blackbirdв's wing
And we will fly away to heaven
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring

Yes when we die we say weв'll catch some blackbirdв's wing
And we will fly away together
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring
