Third Coast

1st verse
C                                  
He said, I left California back in 
F
'76
Dm                  Am
the music died with Jimi Hendrix
C                        G
things got crazy in San Francisco
C                                 
But thumbin' cross the country, I 
F
thought I would freeze
Dm                           Am
So I followed Buffet to the Florida 
Keys
C                                 
Where I nearly got busted, with a 
                    G
load,of snow white cargo

2nd verse
C                             
But I picked up this boat, in a 
           F
illegal deal
Dm                     Am
You could say, I got a hell of a 
steal
C                             
But I couldn't stay there, so I 
              G
headed to Islamado
C                      F
But as a sea captain, I ain't worth 
a damn
Dm                 Am
Out in the ocean I got all turned 
around
C                                 
Then I limped into Bolliver, with 
             G
a hole in my hull

C                                 
I said if I ain't sinkin', well I 
        F
must be swimin'
Dm                 Am
If I ain't dead, I must be livin'
C                                 
Livin' is the thing, that scares 
       G
me the most

C                        F
And if I ain't sleepin', well I 
better be fishin'
Dm                    Am
If I ain't anchored I will be 
driftin'
C                 F
But all and all, I'm doing pretty 
good,
G                      C
since I hit my third coast

3rd verse

Said I quit the weed, pokin' holes 
in my arms
I gotta stay straight, weather these
 storms
When they blow in off the gulf, in 
the fall of the year
See Port Bolliver, was a blessing to
 me
It gave me a chance to give it back 
to the sea
I think god every morning when I 
wake up and
I'm still here.

2nd chorus
And I ain't sinkin' So I must be 
swimin'
I ain't dead so I must be livin'
Livin' is the thing that still 
scares me the most
And if I ain't sleepin' then I'd 
better be fishin'
If I ain't anchored, I will be 
driftin'
but all and all, I' doing pretty 
good
since I hit my third coast

Solo:

4th verse

So you gotta stand up boy, If you 
wanna make ends meet
'cause the ropes to short when your 
on your knees
you gotta listen for the ring, if 
you wanna answer the call.
'cause fishin' ain't fishin, fishin'
 ain't fun
livin' ain't livin' less you feel 
like you've won
winning ain't winning if it ain't 
worth the cost

3rd chorus

See if you ain't sinkin' well your 
swimin'
if you ain't dead, your livin'
livin' is the thing, better scare 
you the most
And if you ain't sleepin' well ya 
better be fishin'
If you ain't anchored, you will be 
driftin'
All and all, you'll be doing pretty 
good
when you find your third coast
when you find your third coast

*spoken

Yea, see ol'Jack he'd roll out of 
his bunk about 6:30
in the morning, say, "Larry Joe, I'm
 gonna teach you how
to sail today buddy. You gotta get 
your sea legs under ya.
You gotta roll with them waves. You 
gotta get right.
Lord, you gotta get right."

That's why I left California back in
 '76
the music died with Jimi Hendrix.
