First in Flight
Makes enough to make ends meet
And pay his bills
Even though he comes from the wrong side of the tracks
He's the first on there to lend a hand
Or give the shirt right off his back
(Chorus)
From what we give we make a living
Those dollars, diamonds and gold
But that old cliche' is a given
You reap what you sow
When you reach out your hand and heart
Then your soul is satisfied
From what we give we make a living
from what we give
We make a life
Mr. Millers got a mansion on the hill
He spent his
Gulf Of Mexico
Teddy Gentry/Robert Byrne, 3:59
I live to work and work to live
Oh but what I wouldn't give
For a ray of sun and a little piece of beach
Where the sand dollar is the only currency
Chorus:
I vote we go to the Gulf of Mexico
You and me by the sea
Palm trees call me, oh that's the place I want to be
Down where the southern breezes blow
On the Gulf of Mexico
Right at five o'clock today
I'll pick you up, we'll drive away
And I can't wait to feel the sand beneath my toes
And I can almost see the sunburn on your nose
Repeat chorus
Vamos we go... (repeat chorus again)
Tag
Down where the southern breezes blow
On the Gulf of Mexico
On the Gulf of Mexico
That's the place I want to be
Down where the southern breezes blow
On the Gulf of Mexico
