GULF ROAD
James Murtry
E Cm
Not a hot cup of coffee, nor a cold glass of tea
A E
Ever crossed your lips, in my company
E Cm
Straight bourbon whiskey, was all we''d abide
A E
So let''s don''t hold back, now we''ve got nothing to hide
So much we savored yet so much we missed
You know I never meant you to see me like this
Just a faint distant flicker, from the last of the storm
You know a taste of that liquor, could do me no harm
Chorus
Cm A E
Light me a candle, light me a fire
B A E
Come sit by the window, with the shades drawn
Cm A E
To the best of intentions, and the worst of desires
B A E
We''ll leave by the Gulf Road, in the gray dawn
Take a short handled shovel, take a long handled hoe
Cover my bones when the west wind blows
Smooth it off even, pack it down hard
I''ll no more be here, but I''ll never be far
I''ll no more be here, but I''ll never be far
Repeat Chorus
Leave by the Gulf Road, in the gray dawn
