Biloxi
Down around Biloxi
Pretty girls are dancing in the sea
They all look like sisters in the ocean
Boy will fill his pale with salty water
And the storms will blow from off towards New Orleans

The Sun shines on Biloxi
The air is filled with vapors from the sea
The boy will dig a pool beside the ocean
He sees creatures from his dreams underwater
And the Sun will set from off towards New Orleans

Stars can see Biloxi
Stars can find their faces in the sea
We are walking down beside the ocean
We are splashing naked in the water
And the sky is red from off towards New Orleans

Down around Biloxi
Pretty girls are swiming in the sea
They all look like sisters in the ocean
Boy will fill his pale with salty water
And the storms will blow from off towards New Orleans

1. Biloxi by Jack Ingram
Edited on Sat Sep-03-05 12:00 AM by SeanQuinn
Google pulled up both.

Where in hell did you go
You left us all alone I wasn’t even eighteen
You never turned around
Like some kid out on the run
You headed for the fun down in Biloxi
And the Gulf of Mexico

Where I guess the girls they’re pretty
And nobody says it’s late
And you can stay out all night long and never have hell to pay
Down in Biloxi
Even when you’re forty-one
Just forget your problems
Down in Biloxi

And you only came around
To take a rest and come down from Biloxi
But you were not the same
Pretending that you cared
Pretending you were there and not in Biloxi
And the Gulf of Mexico

(Chorus)

Did you really think you’d find
More than you left behind back home in Houston
We all felt the loss
I don’t mean to bring you down
But I wonder what you found there in Biloxi
Tell me, was it worth the cost

Well I hope the girls were pretty
And nobody said it was late
And I hope you stayed out all night long and never had hell to pay
Down in Biloxi
When you were forty-one
You forgot your problems
Down in Biloxi

2. I don't know this one
but I'd like to hear it.

In the other song I am absolutely haunted by the line, "and the storms will blow from off towards New Orleans."
