Intro: F C G C C The Texas coastline hold her G close just like a lady And in their time theyʼve C weathered a storm or two. The river feed her waters like I G feed your memory. The deeper I go the more Iʼm C turning blue. F The sandy beaches drift in time C G and the changing tide I know C wonʼt 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 Iʼm C still all alone. F Iʼm 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 Iʼll be sailing out of yesterday G F C G C and the Gulf of Mexic.
