McMurtry, James - Gulf Road Lyrics
Not a hot cup of coffee, nor a cold glass of tea
Ever crossed your lips in my company
Straight bourbon whiskey was all we'd abide
So let's don't hold back now, we've got nothing to hide.
So much we savoured, yet so much we missed
Just a faint distant flicker from the last of the storm
You know a taste of that liquor could do me no harm.
Light me a candle, light me a fire
Come sit by the window with the shades drawn
To the best of intentions and the worst of desires
We'll leave by the Gulf Road in the grey dawn.
I take a short handled shovel, I take a long handled hoe
Cover my bones when the West wind blows
I'll no more be here but I'll never be far
I'll no more be here but I'll never be far.
Light me a candle, light me a fire
Come sit by the window with the shades drawn
To the best of intentions and the worst of desires
We'll leave by the Gulf Road in the grey dawn
We'll leave by the Gulf Road in the grey dawn.

McMurtry, James Gulf Road Comments
To my Father in Law, John Koza. May he rest in peace. - Beautiful. Thank you Jamea & thamuddler. Peace OUT.
THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM ... PERIOD
James tells it as it is and we love him all the more for it
I saw James at Mojo's in Columbia MO (a very small venue) at the end of a set he stepped of the stage ( two steps) walked straight up to my wife and I and said ( Alright thanks for coming out) and I froze like a stone
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
megan Davis yes ma'am
Tulsa Oklahoman here as its been 5+ years wow this stuff is good as hell

Hey buddy
My favourite musician and song writer by a mile 8) There is nobody like him . Would love to see him live.
Try coming to Denton, Texas. He sneaks into Dans Silver Leaf when he has a free date.
genius!
a poet indeed.
Take a short handled shovel, take a long handled hoe - magic!!!
Smooth it off even, pack it down hard.
I'll no more be here, but I'll never be far.
understated words, but the imagery and emotion they provoke.......
He is a genius.
it will if you keep playing it over and over!
I have listened to this song over and over for the last three nights and cannot get it out of my head. I hope it stays there for good.
listen to john hutchinson one last kiss
serious songwriter, I love him...
Greatness
