Gulf coast highway, he worked the rails,
He worked the rice fields with their cool dark wells,
He worked the old 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
And he will fly away to heaven,
come some sweet blue bonnet spring

She walked through spring time, when I was home
Our days were sweet, the nights were warm
Seasons pass, jobs would come, flowers fade
this oldhouse felt so alone
when the work took me away

And when she dies, she says she'll catch
some blackbirds wing,
And 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 theonly place on earth blue bonnetsgrow
And 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 blackbird's wing,
And we will fly away together
come some sweet blue bonnet spring.
