Cut My Teeth Lyrics

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
