Teardrop in the Gulf of Mexico

TEARDROP IN THE GULF OF MEXICO
JERRY SALLEY/BUDDY JEWELL 10/3/2019

THERE AIN’T NOTHING BLUER THAN ANOTHER LONELY NIGHT IN NEW ORLEANS SPENDING MY LAST DOLL+AR IN THE QUARTER
DRINKING DOWN MY BROKEN DREAMS
TONIGHT THE PAIN OF LOSIN HER IS SHOWIN ON MY CHEEKS
FLOWIN LIKE THE MISSISSIPPI ROLLIN TO THE SEA

CHORUS
HURT RUNS DEEP AND WORDS ARE CHEAP
BUT YOU CANT BUY EM BACK
SO, IF I HAD A RICH MANS MONEY
I’D STILL BE BUSTED FLAT
THERES A LESSON IN HER LEAVIN
BUT ‘TIL I FIND A WAY TO LET HER GO
I’LL BE LONESOME AND LOST AS A TEARDROP IN THE GULF OF MEXICO

I’D UNSAY EVERY ANGRY WORD
IF I COULD JUST TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME
AND UNBREAK THAT BROKEN HEART OF HERS
NEVER PUSH HER CROSS THAT LEAVIN LINE
BUT TOMORROW SHE’LL BE GONE
AINT NOTHIN I CAN DO
SHES TAKING EVERY THING SHE OWNS
SO MY HEART’S GOING TOO

REPEAT CHORUS

SOLO

REPEAT CHORUS
