Will Rhodes Band - Cut My Teeth

Bark at the moon
Howl at the sun
Boy don't forget now
Where you come from
Daddy was a skipper just like his you see
This shrimpin' in our blood just like a disease
Mama left one morning without saying a word
So I spent my days with daddy chasing slicks and birds
Second sandbar is where I learned to swim
Never got a lesson I just got thrown in
Daddy always said that gulf was full of gold
So I started haulin' nets when I was eight years old
On a gulfcoast shrimper is where I cut my teeth
Yeah eh yeah
Is where I cut my teeth
They're always getting hung up on that oyster reef
You never see it coming when it lies beneath
A boy to a man is where that shrimp or brought me
Yeah, I was baptized by the salt and Sea
when I take my last breath, don't you cry
Just hang my dirty white boots out to dry
Take my ashes and dump them all in the sea
Bring it back by the bar and have a drink on me
On a gulfcoast shrimper is where I cut my teeth
Yeah eh yeah
Is where I cut my teeth
Riptides taking me out to see take me so far they can't find me
Riptides taking me out to see take me so far they can't find me
Riptides taking me out to see take me so far they can't find me
They ain't never gonna find me
Bark at the moon
Howl at the sun
Boy don't forget now
Where you come from
These were the words that he whispered to me
On a golf coast, shrimper where I cut my teeth yeah
