 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.
