Gulf Coast Girl

[Intro]

Oh oh, oh oh, oh

Oh oh, oh oh, oh

[Verse 1: Caroline Jones]

I love Pensacola, and Apalachicola

And Tampa, St. Pete my particular bare feet

Like to splash in the waves

Maybe misbehave, occasionally

I spend a fair amount of time at the Flora-Bama line

Destined to hang out more at Mobile and Gulf Shores

A very special chart, is locked in my heart

Of places that I love to be

[Chorus]

Cause I’m a Gulf Coast girl

Partial to the warm winds and the salty water

Gulf Coast girl

Yeah, I got a little mermaid in me

And in the whole wide world

No other place where the days and the nights run hotter

Gulf Coast girl

Right at home on my American sea

[Verse 2: Caroline Jones and Kenny Chesney]

Have a world of fun, on a Pascagoula run

And you might get lucky on a beach in Biloxi

Get tanner, get thinner and go home a winner, occasionally

We can surf Boca Chica and Galveston Bay

Ride horses on the beach in South Padre

No we’re not in Kansas. Hola Port Aransas!

Do you wanna two-step with me?

[Chorus]

Cause I’m a Gulf Coast girl

Partial to the warm winds and the salty water

Gulf Coast girl

Yeah, I got a little mermaid in me

And in the whole wide world

No other place where the days and the nights run hotter

Gulf Coast girl

Right at home on my American sea

[Bridge: Caroline Jones and Kenny Chesney]

She’s a Louisiana, little ‘bove the mighty Mississip

Right down from New Orleans!

Give me a po boy to go, I never was a show

And I know, just what that means

[Chorus]

And I’m a Gulf Coast girl

I’m Gulf Coast girl

I gotta little mermaid in me

And in the whole wide world

No other place where the days and the nights run hotter

Gulf Coast girl

Yeah, I’m right at home on my American sea

I’m right at home on my American sea

I gotta little mermaid in me
