Well the sun's comin' up and I'm staring in a cup of tequila Tryin' to find the courage to turn myself around And every time I take another sip I can see her Looking back at me like I might drown There's a dark-eyed lady lying alone in Biloxi And these miles that I've gone are beginning to rattle my bones Sometimes it takes leaving for a man to see he was lucky So seaboard highway take this poor boy home All I can see ahead is a big lonely highway Taking me further and further away from home I was a fool who always wanted things my way I guess it takes time for a fool to see he is wrong There's a dark-eyed lady lying alone in Biloxi
These miles that I've gone are beginning to rattle my bones Sometimes it takes leaving for a man to see he was lucky So seaboard highway take this poor boy home Straining my eyes I can almost see the lights of the city Where the sun is beginning to fall down into the bay Oh I don't think I've ever seen her looking so pretty Oh Biloxi this time I'm coming home to stay There's a dark-eyed lady lying alone in Biloxi These miles that I've gone are beginning to rattle my bones Sometimes it takes leaving for a man to see he was lucky So seaboard highway take this poor boy home
