Gulf Coast Cruise

Lyrics

Verse
I was born in the Delta
My daddy was a traveling man
And the last time that I saw him
He had a suitcase in his hand

Mama raised me in New Orleans
She always did the very best that she could
But I'm too much like my daddy
I’m on the road to nothing good

Chorus
I’m on a Gulf Coast Cruise, a wanderer on the loose
Got to keep on moving, it’s all I ever do
I’d love to stay here darling and spend my days with you
But that ain’t gonna happen, gotta roam

Verse
I spent some time down in Houston
Stayed a while in St. Joe, too
And when the sun comes up tomorrow
I'm on my way to someplace new
Take me there

Chorus
I’m on a Gulf Coast Cruise, a wanderer on the loose
Got to keep on moving, it’s all I ever do
I’d love to stay here darling and spend my days with you
But that ain’t gonna happen, gotta roam

Verse
Might move along to Mobile
Or buzz around Biloxi Bay
Don't bother begging me now, Baby
Cause you know that I can't stay

Yeah, I was born in the Delta
My daddy was a traveling man
The next time that you see me
I'll have a suitcase in my hand
Yeah, the next time that you see me
I’ll have a suitcase in my hand
