The Gulf of Mexico Lyrics

The Gulf Of Mexico
(Teddy Gentry, Robert Byrne)
I live to work and I work to live
Oh, but what I wouldn't give
For a ray of sun and a little piece of beach
Where the sand dollar is the only currency
()
Why don't we go, to the Gulf of Mexico
You and me by the sea
Palm trees call me; that's the place I want to be

Down where the southern breezes blow
On the Gulf of Mexico
Right at fi ve o'clock today
I'll pick you up we'll drive away
I can almost feel the sand beneath my toes
I can almost see the sunburn on your nose
(#2)
Why don't we go, to the Gulf of Mexico
You and me by the sea
Palm trees call me; that's the place I want to be
Down where the southern breezes blow
On the Gulf of Mexico
Vamoose; let's go, to the Gulf of Mexico
You and me by the sea
Palm trees call me; that's the place I want to be
Down where the southern breezes blow
On the Gulf of Mexico
