Lyrics

Gulf Of Mexico
(Copyright - RobRoy West Music / OF Music)

It was just a lover's quarrel
I don't know what went wrong
could've been her fault or mine
either way she's just as gone

I called her best friend up
said 'where did my Baby go?'
she said 'down to the gulf coast
more'n that I do not know

She was servin' up the suds
way back when we first met
A brand new girl in town
be an easy job to get...

So I'm hittin' every bar
along the Gulf of Mexico
this is number sixty seven
nine hundred more to go
I guess I'll keep a movin' on
until my Baby shows
drownin' my sorrows
in the Gulf of Mexico

In a zydeco cantina
suckin' up a big Mai Tai
I thought I might have seen her
in the corner of my eye

I ran outside to find her
but she was already gone
was it my imagination?
was the drink a little strong?

Am I ever gonna find her
or am I just wastin' time
will I have to learn to take it
with a grain of salt and lime

I'm hittin' every bar
along the Gulf of Mexico...

I been in Louisiana
Mississippi, Florabama
I'm prob'ly right behind her
I swear I'm gonna find her

I'm hittin every bar...
