Coast Lyrics


Shane Smith & The Saints Coast

[Verse 1]
Way down South where the highland fades
There's a poor man working in a rice filled maze
And a barefoot boy, on a jetty plank
As he walks into the gulf
And a lighthouse shining out to the sea
To the shrimper staring in disbelief
At the mermaid saying he's gotta believe
That light will take him home

[Chorus]
And by the Mississippi River
There's a Southbound train
And it's headed for the gulf
Gonna buy my ticket and hold it tight
'Til I know I'm getting close
See me running down the alleyway
Looking for the jetties
Searching for my soul
You know
Oh oh
I'm headed for the coast
For the coast

[Verse 2]
Too many young people trying to run their lives
Too many rich folks trying to change their mind
I'm tired of the hustle
Get out of the bustle
Every time I see the light
Tell me baby, can you feel my soul?
I'm rolling with the rhythm on cruise control
I got three chords and I speak the truth
To Willie Nelson, that's a country song
[Chorus]
By the Mississippi River
There's a Southbound train
And it's headed for the gulf
Gonna buy my ticket and hold it tight
'Til I know I'm getting close
See me running down the alleyway
Looking for the jetties
Searching for my soul
You know
Oh oh
I'm headed for the coast
For the coast

[Chorus]
And by the Mississippi River
There's a Southbound train
And it's heading for the gulf
Gonna buy my ticket and hold it tight
'Til I know I'm getting close
You see me running down the alleyway
Looking for the jetties
Searching for my soul
You know
Oh
I'm headed for the coast
For the coast
