Prompt / Lyrics
Gulf Coast Cowboy & Sunshine (to the tune of a loping two-step, think Waylon meets early Springsteen road feel) Verse 1 Well the Gulf wind’s howlin’ through the screen door again Salt on my boots and sand in my veins Crazy kinfolk been pullin’ every string they can But darlin’, we ain’t playin’ their game no more, amen Chorus Load up the old motorhome, Sunshine, my flame Throw in the cooler, the rods, and our names We’re headin’ down south where the redwoods still stand Like the ole days we ran, just you and this man Curse of the family, we left it behind Now it’s tires on blacktop and peace on our mind Gulf Coast Cowboy and Sunshine, ridin’ free Chasin’ them giants and old memories Verse 2 We took a whole year just to breathe and to mend Dodgin’ the drama, lettin’ time be our friend Your laugh in the cab was the only soundtrack we needed Windows down low, every heartache unheeded Chorus Load up the old motorhome, Sunshine, my flame Throw in the cooler, the rods, and our names We’re headin’ down south where the redwoods still stand Like the ole days we ran, just you and this man Curse of the family, we left it behind Now it’s tires on blacktop and peace on our mind Gulf Coast Cowboy and Sunshine, ridin’ free Chasin’ them giants and old memories Bridge Them big ol’ trees gonna whisper our story ‘Bout a cowboy and his sunshine ridin’ out for the glory No more lookin’ backward, no more chains on our wheels Just the hum of the highway and the way your hand feels Final Chorus (a little softer, then build) Load up the old motorhome, Sunshine, my light We’re takin’ back the road under stars every night Down south to the redwoods, where the wild things still play Gulf Coast Cowboy and Sunshine… we’re back home today
