Gulf Coast Highway He worked the rails He worked the rice fields With their cool dark wells He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico The only thing we've ever owned Is this old house here by the road And when he dies he says he'll catch Some blackbird's wing Then he will fly away to Heaven come Some sweet blue bonnet spring She walked through springtime When I was home The days were sweet The nights were warm The seasons change, the jobs would Come, the flowers fade This old house felt so alone When the work took me away And when she dies she says, she'll Catch some blackbirds wing Then she will fly away to Heaven come Some sweet blue bonnet spring Highway 90 The jobs are gone We tend our garden We set the sun This is the only place on earth Blue bonnets grow Once a year they come and go At this old house here by the road And when we die we say, we'll Catch some blackbirds wing Then we will fly away to Heaven come Some sweet blue bonnet spring And when we die we say, we'll Catch some blackbirds wing We will fly away together come Some sweet blue bonnet spring
