Coast

Em C G D/F# (2x) Em C Way down South where the highland fades G D/F# There's a poor man working in a rice filled maze Em C And a barefoot boy, on a jetty plank G D/F# As he walks into the gulf Em C And a lighthouse shining out to the sea G D/F# To the shrimper staring in disbelief Em C At the mermaid saying he's gotta believe G D/F# That light will take him home C And by the Mississippi River G There's a Southbound train D/F# Am And it's headed for the gulf C G Gonna buy my ticket and hold it tight D/F# Am 'Til I know I'm getting close C See me running down the alleyway G Looking for the jetties D/F# Am Searching for my soul C You know G D/F# Ooooh oh D/F# Em C G D/F# I'm headed for the coast Em C G D/F# For the coast Em C Too many young people trying to run their lives G D/F# Too many rich folks trying to change their mind Em I'm tired of the hustle C Get out of the bustle G D/F# Every time I see the light Em C Tell me baby, can you feel my soul? G D/F# I'm rolling with the rhythm on cruise control Em C I got three chords and I speak the truth G D/F# To Willie Nelson, that's a country song C And by the Mississippi River G There's a Southbound train D/F# Am And it's headed for the gulf C G Gonna buy my ticket and hold it tight D/F# Am 'Til I know I'm getting close C See me running down the alleyway G Looking for the jetties D/F# Am Searching for my soul C You know G D/F# Ooooh oh D/F# Em C G D/F# I'm headed for the coast Em C G D/F# For the coast Em C G D/F# (2x) C And by the Mississippi River G There's a Southbound train D/F# Am And it's headed for the gulf C G Gonna buy my ticket and hold it tight D/F# Am 'Til I know I'm getting close C See me running down the alleyway G Looking for the jetties D/F# Am Searching for my soul C You know G D/F# Ooooh oh D/F# Em C G D/F# I'm headed for the coast Em C G D/F# For the coast Em C G D/F# (6x) Ends on one last down strum on Em
