When I reach the gulf coast, I’ll send a postcard

Leaving was easy, letting go is hard

I couldn’t say goodbye, you shouldn’t hold me so tight

My words are all dust, now, dancing in the light

Dancing in the light as I go down

Down to Biloxi

The man at the motel will hand me the key

Then, maybe I’ll lie down there at the edge of the sea

There’s a lighthouse so ships won’t crash on the beach

But I heard it hasn’t worked since Elvis was king

Since Elvis was the king

Down in Biloxi

This life is so goddamn hard

I’ve seen things here that would chill your blood

And while I’ve always tried not to lose my heart

Who’s going to hold it in every time I open up?

When they ask you what happened, you won’t know what to say

But every stem can be trimmed to fit any vase

I was searching for someone who can never be found

So, just say I got lost while I was on my way down

On my way down to Biloxi

Down to Biloxi
