Gulf of Mexico

(Robert Byrne - Teddy Gentry)



I live to work and 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.



I vote 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 five o'clock today

I'll pick you up, we'll drive away

And I can't wait to feel the sand beneath my toes

And I can almost see the sunburn on your nose.



I vote we go to the Gulf of Mexico

You and me by the sea

Palm trees call me, oh, that's the place I want to be

Down where the southern breezes blow

On the Gulf of Mexico.

La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, hmm.



La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la.



Vamos, we go to the Gulf of Mexico

You and me by the sea

Palm trees call me, oh, that's the place I want to be

Down where the southern breezes blow

On the Gulf of Mexico.



Down where the southern breezes blow

On the Gulf of Mexico...
