[Verse 1]
Down by the bayou, under the starry night
A cowboy with a lonesome soul, riding out of sight
With a weathered hat and a heart full of dreams
He’s the Gulf Coast cowboy, chasing moonbeams
[Chorus]
Oh, Gulf Coast cowboy, ride the midnight tide
With the Gulf wind blowin', got no place to hide
Sing your sorrows, sing your joys, in the sway of the oaks
Gulf Coast cowboy, in the stories he provokes
[Verse 2]
Salt in the air and a guitar strum
Stories of the river, where the wild things come
From the sunrise to the fall of night
He’s the soul of the coastline, in the fading light
[Pre-Chorus]
Dust on his boots and a fire in his eyes
He’s wanderin’, wonderin’, under open skies
No chains, no borders, just the horizon’s call
Gulf Coast cowboy, standing proud and tall
[Chorus]
Oh, Gulf Coast cowboy, ride the midnight tide
With the Gulf wind blowin’, got no place to hide
Sing your sorrows, sing your joys, in the sway of the oaks
Gulf Coast cowboy, in the stories he provokes
[Bridge]
Through storms and still waters, he’s a free soul’s son
Chasing the dawn, till the day is gone
A rebel heart in a peaceful land, he’s a legend in the making
Gulf Coast cowboy, never faking
[Outro]
So raise your glass to the remnant and the true
To the endless sky and the wild, cool blue
Here’s to the cowboy, with the Gulf in his soul
Forever riding, forever whole
