Beaches Of Biloxi

(album: Steak Night At The Prairie Rose - 2018)

"Top it off, I'm bound for Texas
"On this lonely stretch of Interstate 10"
I got all of Louisiana
To think of ways to tell her where I've been

I'd like to kill that dirty dealer
The way he played me ought to be a crime
He pulled a flush out on the river
And got me down to my last dime

The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again
On that damn river boat the dealers always win
And I'm gonna lose her to the tables and the gin
The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again

Pull the shade over the window
Crawl in bed with her as softly as I can
I'll break the news to her tomorrow
Lord, I hope she understands

'Cause we been saving up for babies
And a little farmhouse near her father's land
But I lost it all in Mississippi
Buried way down in that Gulf Coast sand

The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again
On that damn river boat the dealers always win
And I'm gonna lose her to the tables and the gin
The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again

The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again
On that damn river boat the dealers always win
And I've lost a fortune out here paying for my sins
The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again
The beaches of Biloxi got the best of me again
