[Verse 1]
Boots on the boardwalk
Hat tipped low in the rain
Coconut tan on a flannel shirt
Laughing through the coffee steam again
He’s a Gulf Coast cowboy
Salt still stuck in his hair
Now he’s turning every crosswalk
Into beach sand in the air (hey!)
[Chorus]
Gulf Coast cowboy in a cold gray town
Riding that big black horse like a merry-go-round
Sunshine on his shoulder, steel in his eyes
Turning wet streets into blue-sky tides
Gulf Coast cowboy, let that daylight roll
Seattle dripping, but he’s all heart and soul
Every hoof hit sounds like waves on stone
He makes this place feel like home
[Verse 2]
Sunshine rides shotgun
Poncho bright as July
Harmonica tucked in her jacket
She’s got a storm-breaking smile
Roy’s a big black thunder
Feathers on his feet so wide
But he moves like warm water
When they hit that downhill slide (woah)
[Chorus]
Gulf Coast cowboy in a cold gray town
Riding that big black horse like a merry-go-round
Sunshine on his shoulder, steel in his eyes
Turning wet streets into blue-sky tides
Gulf Coast cowboy, let that daylight roll
Seattle dripping, but he’s all heart and soul
Every hoof hit sounds like waves on stone
He makes this place feel like home
[Bridge]
Traffic light ocean
Stop, then go, then glide
He hums her a shoreline
She blows that tune sky-wide (ooh yeah)
Raincoat crowd starts swaying
Don’t even know why
Feels like sand in their sneakers
And rum in their minds
[Chorus]
Gulf Coast cowboy in a cold gray town
Riding that big black horse like a merry-go-round
Sunshine on his shoulder, steel in his eyes
Turning wet streets into blue-sky tides
Gulf Coast cowboy, chase that gray sky gone
Hoofbeats echo like a beachside song
Every splash step, every breath of foam
You make this place feel like home (hey!)
You make this place feel like home
