                             Gulf Of Mexico
                             by: Clint Black


INTRO:  F C G C


 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.
