Gulf Coast Girl

I love Pensacola and Apalachicola and Tampa, St. Pete

My particular bare feet like to slash 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

'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

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, ola! Port Aransas

Do you wanna two-step with me?

'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

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

Right down from New Orleans

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

And I know just what that means

And I’m a Gulf - coast - girl

Yeah, I’m a Gulf Coast girl

Oh, I've 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

Yeah; I'm right at home on my American sea

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

I've got a little mermaid in me
