Gulf Coast Cowboy

[Verse 1]
You and me
Salt on skin, flip-flops by the back door
Sunburn line, tan lines say we’ve been here before
Cheap beer sweating in a can, tailgate throne
Koozie on your hand, this bay feels like home
[Chorus]
You and me, this happened
Love-forever kind of thing, it just stuck
Gulf Coast cowboy
Boots in the sand, big hat, big truck
You talk, that harp talks back (oh yeah)
Laugh lines deep, hearts laid flat
You and me, this happened
I ain’t ever coming back from that
[Verse 2]
Bonfire night
Smoke in your hair, little drawl on my name
You steal my cap, say, “Boy, you’ll always be the same”
Mud on the tires, church on the FM dial
You kiss my cheek, that’s grace with a smile
[Chorus]
You and me, this happened
Love-forever kind of thing, it just stuck
Gulf Coast cowboy
Boots in the sand, big hat, big truck
You talk, that harp talks back (hey!)
Wind sings low, stars lean in
You and me, this happened
If this is the start, don’t let it end
[Bridge]
Stuff and things
Little inside jokes that nobody gets
Old torn koozies, Polaroids, winning bar bets
Might fade like the paint on my old red Ford
But your “I love you” still runs like a chord
[Chorus]
You and me, this happened
Love-forever kind of thing, it just stuck
Gulf Coast cowboy
Boots in the sand, big hat, big truck
You talk, that harp talks back (oh babe)
Tide rolls in, we just stay
You and me, this happened
Gulf coast hearts, we don’t drift away
