Gulf Of Mexico Fishing Boat Blues Lyrics & Tabs by Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby
Gulf Of Mexico Fishing Boat Blues
guitar chords lyrics
I'm in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico
Working on a fishing boat, how long I don't know
Trouble behind me, yes I'm hoping so
Finger on my back, make me say
"Whoa, whoa, whoa"
I'm in the saddle taking a little ride
Swinging with my partner side to side
C'mon Joe, c'mon Lee
Let's go down to the Jamboree
Make a new start, change my name
No more ducking my head in shame
I did run and yes, I hid
Running from the trouble for something I did
Thousand miles away from my home
Five states over, oh I did roam
Running from the trouble for something I did
Thousand miles away from my home
Five states over, oh I did roam
Right eye peeled on the worker so near
Nobody would think to look for me here
My arms getting so strong working long days
If they find me I'll be better at fighting my way
Out and then I'd swim ashore
Dare 'em all to look for me some more
What I did I can't tell you
I can't believe it was me
In the flash of a light you can lose your sense of right
Change your luck and change your life
