[Intro]
(Harmonica riff answers itself)
Yeah…
Powder on my shirt —
don’t ask questions.
[Verse 1]
Rollin’ slow where the shoreline bends
Chrome still hummin’, glaze on my hands
Corner shop bell go ring-ding-ding
Lady laughed said “cowboy what’ll it be?”
Sweet cream center fresh and warm
Sugar dust blowin like a coastal storm
First bite hit and the world slowed down
Heaven in a box in a sleepy coast town
(Harmonica: doo-wee doo)
Singer: that’s what I’m talkin’ about
[Pre-Chorus]
Sun comin’ up boots hit the floor
Life gets better with a dozen more
[Chorus]
Gulf Coast cowboy with a harmonica smile
(Harmonica answers)
Powder sugar driftin’ country mile
Ladies in the doorway laugh a while
Smile like a donut girl —
stay sweet in the middle
Coffee strong and the morning’s right
(Harmonica bend reply)
Sweet cream dream in the sunrise light
If heaven ain’t this it ain’t worthwhile
Smile like a donut —
stay sweet in the middle
[Verse 2]
Pickup idlin’, gulls overhead
Pink sky paintin’ gold on the shed
Sunshine laughin’ at the mess on my jeans
“You been cheatin’ on me with pastries again?”
Sugar on the dash glaze on the wheel
Hard work life needs a soft-center deal
World gets rough but the cure is simple
Warm box ridin’ shotgun keep life gentle
(Harmonica: wahh-whoo)
Singer: preach it
[Bridge]
No rush just slow coast time
Porch wind chime and a backbeat rhyme
Laugh lines deeper than a river bend
Sweet in the middle is how we mend
[Chorus]
Gulf Coast cowboy with a harmonica smile
(Harmonica answers)
Powder sugar driftin’ country mile
Ladies in the doorway laugh a while
Smile like a donut girl —
stay sweet in the middle
[Outro]
Box on the seat and the day feels right
Sugar dust glowin’ in the mornin’ light
If you see me rollin’ stay awhile —
Life’s better sweet in the middle
(Harmonica last laugh)
