3.Gulf of Mexico
There's lightning on the beach today high winds and heavy rain
Warnings on the radio and talk of hurricane
The neighbors are all boarded up and soon she'll watch them go
But she will ride the storm out on the Gulf of Mexico
He left on Tuesday mornin', said by Friday he'd be back
But now the wind is rising and the sky is boilin' black
She won't leave without him though her neighbors begged her so
He's makin' his way home to her on the Gulf of Mexico.
No roadblock, no padlock, no pounding rising tide
Will keep him from his promise to be back at her side
No power can be greater than the one that lovers know
When silent prayers are answered on the Gulf of Mexico
The sheriff's lights are flashin' and the highway's been shut
down.
The last few cars have left behind a ghostly seaport town
Waves are crashing 'round him, but he has no time to slow
Two miles ahead she's waiting on the Gulf of Mexico.
His house is underwater and his heart is filled with fear
But in the attic window burns a lantern bright and clear
It must have been a miracle, one only God can know
That spared those two lovers on the Gulf of Mexico.
No roadblock, no padlock, no pounding rising tide
Will keep him from his promise to be back at her side
No power can be greater than the one that lovers know
When silent prayers are answered on the Gulf of Mexico
