[Intro] [harmonica riff, dusty and proud] Gulf Coast cowboy Rollin' in slow Sun on the brim Salt on the soul [Verse 1] Mud on the boots Shells on the dash Faded old buckle Little bit of cash Fish fry smoke Straight out the bay Granddad’s ghost Still talkin’ my way Truck bed stage Cables and beer If you stand close You gon’ feel me right here Word in the wind Whispers your name You hear that sound? You already changed [Chorus] It’s a blessing just to know the Gulf Coast cowboy (yeah) To see that hat in the mirror, hear that voice You check out his songs Might find your own drawl You just might be more than you thought you were at all It’s a blessing just to know the Gulf Coast cowboy (hey) That barefoot, backroad believer in joy Lean in to that sound Let it wake up your nerves You just might be more than you thought you were [Verse 2] Heard that track In a one-pump town Screen door creak Whole bar turned ‘round Girl at the bar Said, “Who that there?” Said, “That’s the man Puttin’ wind in the air” You feel that pull? That tug in your chest? Like somebody bet on you And laid the rest You ain’t just broke You ain’t just tired You’re bonfire heart Full tank and fired [Chorus] It’s a blessing just to know the Gulf Coast cowboy (oh) To see that hat in the mirror, hear that voice You check out his songs Might find your own drawl You just might be more than you thought you were at all It’s a blessing just to know the Gulf Coast cowboy (cowboy) That barefoot, backroad believer in joy Lean in to that sound Let it wake up your nerves You just might be more than you thought you were [Bridge] [harmonica echoing the vocal line] Maybe you’re the one You been waiting on Hidden in the hook Of a three-minute song You came for a laugh Left with a burn ‘Cause hearing his story Made your own turn [Chorus] It’s a blessing just to know the Gulf Coast cowboy (yeah) To see that hat in the mirror, hear that voice You check out his songs Might find your own drawl You just might be more than you thought you were at all It’s a blessing just to know the Gulf Coast cowboy That barefoot, backroad believer in joy If you ride with that sound You’ll remember your worth You just might be more than you thought you were [Outro] [harmonica outro, drifting like salt air] Gulf Coast cowboy Look what you stirred You just might be more More than you heard

rap, Swampy rap-country bounce with Southern harmonica intro riff, steady mid-tempo drums, twangy slide guitar fills. Male vocals with a laid-back swagger in the verses, sticky melodic hook on the chorus. Harmonica answers key lines like a hype man; low 808-style bass glues it all together, big roomy claps on the downbeat of the hook., country
