Golf coast highway
He worked the rails
He worked the rice fields
With the cool dark wells
He worked the oil rigs
In the gulf of mexico
The only thing we've ever owned
Is this old house here by the road
And when he dies he says
He'll catch some blackbirds wing
And he will fly away to heaven
Come some sweet blue bonnet spring
She walked through springtime
Was home
The days were sweet
The nights were warm
The seasons change
The jobs would come
The flowers fade
And this old house felt so alone
When the work took me away
And when she dies she says
She'll catch them blackbirds wing
And she will flytheir way to heaven
Comes some sweet blue border spring
Highway ninety
The jobs are gone
We tend our garden
We set the sun
This is the only place on earth blue bonnets grow
And once a year they come and go
This old house here by the road
And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbirds wing
And we will fly away together come
Some sweet blue but it's spring
Yes when we die we say we'll catch some blackbirds wing
And we will fly away togethercome
Some sweet blue bonic spring
