Lyrics

Gulf wind blowing down the back of my neck
Rockin my boat on the uppermost deck
They say it’s coming in, it’s about to blow
But I’m staying right here, cause this is my home

Can’t teach an old new tricks, they say
Some folks are stupid, it’s as plain as day
That’s me, and I’ll go to decks below
I’m staying right here cause this is my home

And Hurricanes come, and hurricanes go
I’ll ride this one out just like before
Hurricanes land or they churn the sea
I’ll ride this one out again, naturally

Gulf breeze blowing salt mist in my face
Made it through again by God’s good grace
Sails back up and I’m ready to go
I’m staying right here cause this is my home

The sea is all I know, she calls me night and day
The sea is all I know, and this is where I’ll stay.

Storm winds came to my house one day
Long ago and far away
Blew away everything that I’d known
I’m staying right here cause this is my home
