Gulf Coast Blues Lyrics - Joe Ely

Walkin' on the shore 

Feelin' mighty bad 

These have been the worst 

Ol' blues I ever had 

So far 

Since you've gone 

So far 

Clouds around my brain 

How can I drain 

These Gulf Coast Blues away 

Talkin' to myself 

Tellin' me lies 

Wonderin' if the tide 

Will ever rise 

Again 

Since you've gone 

Again 

Clouds around my brain 

How can I drain 

These Gulf Coast Blues away 

Ships a comin' in 

Fog around the shore 

Wonderin' if you'll be 

Waitin' at my door 

Tonight 

Oh Lord 

Tonight 

Clouds around my brain 

How can I drain 

These Gulf Coast Blues away 

If love is an ocean where all the rivers end 

Blues must be the feelin' while you're waitin' for the wind
