Intro  C G D G  2X

           C                 G
Where in hell did you go?
D                       C                       G
You left us all alone I wasn't even eighteen.
                D
You never turned around
                C                 G
Like some kid out on the run
D                         C                 G
you headed for the fun down in Biloxi
                        D
and the Gulf of Mexico

Chorus
            C                               G
Where I guess the girls they're pretty
      C              G
and nobody says it's late
                            D                         C
and you can stay out all night long and never have hell to pay
             G  
down in Biloxi
                        D
even when you're forty-one
                        C       D
just forget your problems
                 G
down in Biloxi

           C                 G
And you only came around
D                       C                       G
to take a rest and come down from Biloxi
                D
but you were not the same
C                       G
pretending that you cared
D                         C                    G
pretending you were there and not in Biloxi
                        D
and the Gulf of Mexico


Chorus

Solo

           C                 G
Did you really think you'd find
D                          C                        G
more than you left behind back home in Houston?
                D
we all felt the loss
C                          G
I don't mean to bring you down
D                         C                    G
but I wonder what you found there in Biloxi
                        D
tell me, was it worth the cost?

            C                           G
Well I hope the girls were pretty
     C                 G
and nobody said it was late
                                 D                          C
and I hope you stayed out all night long and never had hell to pay
             G
down in Biloxi
                   D
when you were forty-one
                        C       D
You forgot your problems
                 G
down in Biloxi.
