[Intro harmonica fiddle]
[Verse]
Well I’m a Texas man with a Gulf Coast soul,
Boots on my feet and a heart made of gold.
Now I’m stuck up north where the rain never ends,
But I’ll sing you a song ‘fore this cowboy bends.
[Verse]
My wife loves the city, the coffee, the breeze,
But she ain’t felt the warmth of a live oak tree.
I miss the dirt roads and the sweet jasmine air,
So I’ll strum this banjo like a man with a prayer.
[Chorus]
Oh darlin’, come down where the sun meets the sea,
Where the shrimp’s always fresh and the tea’s always sweet.
We’ll two-step all night to a old country tune,
With a little rap twist under the moon.
[Chorus]
Oh darlin’, let’s ride where the bluebonnets grow,
Where the neighbors all wave and the rivers run slow.
I’ll show you the South like you’ve never seen,
A little bit country with a hip-hop dream.
[Bridge]
Now Seattle’s got charm, I can’t tell you no lie,
But the Gulf’s got a magic that’ll spark in your eyes.
Just one little visit, just one little stay,
And you’ll be hooked like a catfish someday.
[Verse]
I’ll fire up the grill, throw some gumbo in the pot,
Spin you a yarn ‘bout the fish that we caught.
We’ll dance on the pier when the fiddles get loud,
Laughin’ like kids in a big southern crowd.
[Verse Harmonica getting down knee slapping
No traffic, no hustle, just crickets at night,
Fireflies dancin’ in soft yellow light.
You’ll trade in your latte for sweet lemonade,
And never look back at that cold city shade.
[Chorus]
Oh darlin’, come down where the sun meets the sea,
Where the shrimp’s always fresh and the tea’s always sweet.
We’ll two-step all night to a old country tune,
With a little rap twist under the moon.
[Chorus]
Oh darlin’, let’s ride where the bluebonnets grow,
Where the neighbors all wave and the rivers run slow.
I’ll show you the South like you’ve never seen,
A little bit country with a hip-hop dream.
