Rock Coast Blues

Movin’ down that rock coast line
Oh, nothin’ but my woman on my mind
Hear those waves poundin’ on sand
Smell that sea air blowin’ inland
I wonder if she’s found another man, oh!
Black stone roadway by the sea
Oh, I wonder if she’s a-missing me
Four-wheeled clock keeps tickin’ off time
Measured minutes by a broken white line,
Wonder if I’m really on her mind, oh.

And now in my thoughts I feel her eyes,
Feel her smilin’ by my side,
Then I turn around and see
There’s nobody sittin’ here but me, yeah!

Rubber tired, oh, lonesome song
Tells me that I’ve done something wrong
Days before and then we parted,
I wonder why I even started
Thinkin’ I’ve been gone far too long.

Moving past those rocks and waves
I wonder how she spends her days,
Watch the sun as we go by
Throwin’ colors off the water sky,
Thinkin’ about the rainbows in my baby’s eyes.

Movin’ past those pine-cone trees,
Sorry that I had to leave
High above on a twisted road
Ocean movin’ down below
I wonder just how far I have to go.

Now in my thoughts I feel her eyes,
Feel her smilin’ by my side,
Oh, then I turn around and see
There’s nobody sittin’ here but me, yeah!

Rubber tired, oh, lonesome song
Tells me that I’ve done something wrong
Days before and then we parted,
I wonder why I even started
Thinkin’ I’ve been gone far too long.

Yeah, I’ve been gone too long,
Oh, now don’t you know I’ve been gone too long, oh yeah.
Yeah, woman, oh, I’ve been gone too long, yeah,
Yeah now little girl, I’m coming home, yes.
Mm, you know that I’m coming on home,
Yeah, you know …
