[Intro]
Boots on the pier
Sun in my beard
From the shrimp boat docks
To the rain-soaked blocks
[Verse 1]
Gulf breeze in my lungs
Salt still on my tongue
Clock in, clock out
I still run the whole route
From the oil-stained tee
To the tailored coat
They keep handing me
Every ribbon, every vote
They said “son, chill out”
I just laughed, “can’t do”
‘Cause every backroom deal
Got my name in the view
From the bayou mud
To that coffee steam
I turned every lil’ gig
To a long-term dream (yeah)
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, I’m on top of it
New town, new crown, I’m the obvious pick
From Gulf Coast cowboy to Seattle king
I don’t chase thrones, they just hand me the thing
Everywhere I go, I’m on top of it
Big chair, big check, yeah it all just fits
From salt in my boots to that Northwest rain
Put me in the room, they remember my name (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
She got that boardroom stare
And them high-heel plans
I walk in late
Now I’m signing off on the land
She slide close, say
“Where you been all my life?”
I’m just tryna read charts
She tryna be my wife
Different city, same script
Different skyline, same lips
They wanna ride shotgun
While I’m steering the ship
From flannel and fleece
To the sandbar swing
I’m the talk of the town
Before I unpack a thing (hey)
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, I’m on top of it
New town, new crown, I’m the obvious pick
From Gulf Coast cowboy to Seattle king
I don’t chase thrones, they just hand me the thing
Everywhere I go, I’m on top of it
Big chair, big check, yeah it all just fits
From salt in my boots to that Northwest rain
Put me in the room, they remember my name
[Bridge]
Gulf moon, space needle
Same story, new people
They ask “how you always win?”
I say “show up, dive in”
One more coast, one more ring
Tip my hat, kiss the ring
From the dockside bar
To the high-rise swing (woah)
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, I’m on top of it
New town, new crown, I’m the obvious pick
From Gulf Coast cowboy to Seattle king
I don’t chase thrones, they just hand me the thing
Everywhere I go, I’m on top of it
Big chair, big check, yeah it all just fits
From salt in my boots to that Northwest rain
Put me in the room, they remember my name (my name)
