LYRICS
Down in Alabama, take Highway 59 To sugar white sand and the warm sunshine Swimming trunks are all you'll ever need No shirt, no shoes, just come as you please Got a cooler in the back and the radio playin' Hear a Chesney song and we all wanna sing It Sun sinkin' low past the fishin' pier Cut me a lime and crack one more beer Fresh shrimp comin' out of Bon Secours Corn and sausage, then we threw in some more Pass me a plate, cause I'm gonna dig in Tonight we start the party with all my Bama Friends Gonna put a little Gulf Coast in my soul Get a little shrimp and a bit of rock and roll Raise your cup, kick off your shoes Kick up some sand to a Cajun groove Let the moonlight shine and the warm wind blow Ain't nowhere else that I wanna go From that first cold beer till the fire burns low Gotta put a little Gulf Coast in my soul Fort Morgan standin' out beside the water Like an old soldier watchin' the bay It's seen cannon smoke, storms and battles Now it watches folks come here to play Fishin' boats come rollin' through the bay Bringin' in the catch at the end of the day Seagulls circle waitin' on their chance One loose shrimp and they're leadin' the dance Gonna put a little Gulf Coast in my soul Get a little shrimp and a bit of rock and roll Raise your cup, kick off your shoes Kick up some sand to a Cajun groove Let the moonlight shine and the warm wind blow Ain't nowhere else that I wanna go From that first cold beer till the fire burns low Gotta put a little Gulf Coast in my soul Red potatoes piled on a paper plate Corn disappearing faster than we can make Somebody swears that they caught these shrimp We don't really care cause they brought the beer Gonna put a little Gulf Coast in my soul Get a little shrimp and a bit of rock and roll Raise your cup, kick off your shoes Kick up some sand to a Cajun groove Let the moonlight shine and the warm wind blow Ain't nowhere else that I wanna go From that first cold beer till the fire burns low Gonna put a little Gulf Coast in my soul Gonna put a little Gulf Coast in my soul Come hungry and stay till it's time to go And head for the cooler when the fire burns low Gonna put a little Gulf Coast in my soul
