I love Pensacola and Apalachicola and Tampa, St. Pete
My particular bare feet like to slash in the waves
Maybe misbehave, occasionally
I spend a fair amount of time at the Flora-Bama line
Destined to hang out more at Mobile and Gulf shores
A very special chart is locked in my heart
Of places that I love to be
'Cause I’m a Gulf coast girl
Partial to the warm winds and the salty water!
Gulf coast girl
Yeah, I got a little mermaid in me
And in the whole wide world
No other place where the days and the nights run hotter
Gulf coast girl
Right at home on my American sea
Have a world of fun on a Pascagoula run
And you might get lucky on a beach in Biloxi
Get tanner, get thinner and go home a winner, occasionally
We can surf Boca Chica and Galveston Bay
Ride horses on the beach in South Padre
No, we’re not in Kansas, ola! Port Aransas
Do you wanna two-step with me?
'Cause I’m a Gulf coast girl
Partial to the warm winds and the salty water!
Gulf coast girl
Yeah, I got a little mermaid in me
And in the whole wide world
No other place where the days and the nights run hotter
Gulf coast girl
Right at home on my American sea
She’s a Louisiana little ‘bove the mighty Mississip'
Right down from New Orleans
Give me a poor boy to go, I never was a show
And I know just what that means
And I’m a Gulf - coast - girl
Yeah, I’m a Gulf Coast girl
Oh, I've got a little mermaid in me
And in the whole wide world
No other place where the days and the nights run hotter
Gulf coast girl
Yeah; I'm right at home on my American sea
Hey, I’m right at home on my American sea
I've got a little mermaid in me
