[Intro] Em C G D/F# (x2) [Verse 1]
EmWay down South where the Chighland fades There's a Gpoor man working in a D/F#rice filled maze And a Embarefoot boy, on a Cjetty plank As he Gwalks into the D/F#gulf And a Emlighthouse shining out Cto the sea To the Gshrimper staring in D/F#disbelief At the Emmermaid saying he's Cgotta believe That Glight will take him D/F#home
[Chorus]
And by the CMississippi River There's a GSouthbound train And it's D/F#headed for the Amgulf Gonna Cbuy my ticket and Ghold it tight 'Til I D/F#know I'm getting Amclose See me Crunning down the alleyway GLooking for the jetties D/F#Searching for my Amsoul You knoCw OGoooh oD/F#h ID/F#'m headed for the Emcoast C G D/F#
ForEm the coCast G D/F# [Verse 2] Too Emmany young people trying to Crun their lives Too Gmany rich folks trying to D/F#change their mind I'm Emtired of the hustle Get Cout of the bustle Every Gtime I see the D/F#light EmTell me baby, can you Cfeel my soul? I'm Grolling with the rhythm on D/F#cruise control I Emgot three chords and I Cspeak the truth To Willie GNelson, that's a country D/F#song
[Chorus]
And by the CMississippi River There's a GSouthbound train And it's D/F#headed for the Amgulf Gonna Cbuy my ticket and Ghold it tight 'Til I D/F#know I'm getting Amclose See me Crunning down the alleyway GLooking for the jetties D/F#Searching for my Amsoul You knoCw OGoooh oD/F#h ID/F#'m headed for the Emcoast C G D/F# ForEm the coCast G D/F#
[Instrumental] Em C G D/F# (x2) [Chorus]
And by the CMississippi River There's a GSouthbound train And it's D/F#headed for the Amgulf Gonna Cbuy my ticket and Ghold it tight 'Til I D/F#know I'm getting Amclose See me Crunning down the alleyway GLooking for the jetties D/F#Searching for my Amsoul You knoCw OGoooh oD/F#h ID/F#'m headed for the Emcoast C G D/F# For Emthe coaCst G D/F#
