The Gulf of Mexico.

I've got a fire in my heart,
And sand in my soul,
Where you are not,
On the Gulf of Mexico,
I walk along,
And look behind,
At your footprints gone,
Near the path of mine,

And, o'-o',
The Gulf of Mexico,
Is a beautiful place to go,
But it shows; when you're all alone,
And there's no way to know,
'Til you've walked it alone,
'Til the sun's gone cold,
O', o'-o',
The Gulf of Mexico,

There's a palm tree that stands,
In sand on the dune,
Where I fold my hands,
And howl at the moon,
I touch the sky,
And feel the stars,
I hope to fly,
To where you are,

And, o'-o',
The Gulf of Mexico,
Is a beautiful place to go,
But it shows; when you're all alone,
And there's no way to know,
'Til you've walked it alone,
'Til the sun's gone cold,
O', o'-o',
The Gulf of Mexico,

I've got an ocean of love,
Like the tide coming in,
It's more than enough,
To fill you again,
Someday soon,
I hope I won't even know,
What it's like without you,
On the Gulf of Mexico,

And, o'-o',
The Gulf of Mexico,
Is a beautiful place to go,
But it shows; when you're all alone,
And there's no way to know,
'Til you've walked it alone,
'Til the sun's gone cold,
O', o'-o',
The Gulf of Mexico,

And, o'-o',
I don't wanna go,
Without you,
On the Gulf of Mexico.
